French luxury label Givenchy is launching a $300 lipstick in its signature deep red shade in the Le Rouge line, clad in crocodile skin. Limited to only 3,000 pieces, it will be available at Barneys New York starting October.
Le Rouge's journey since its inception in 2013 has seen Givenchy play with the lipstick in many ways – from launching vibrant shades like fuschia and creamy beige, to encasing it in lambskin.
Otherwise priced at only $36, Givenchy's limited edition Le Rouge gets its staggering price tag from the crocodile skin it's encapsulated in, patterned on the black and silver tube.
To make it all worth it, any other lipstick from the Le Rouge range can be fit into the elegant case once the original crimson wears out -- so your croc skin will live on.
The limited edition Le Rouge will come in a numbered gift box, to add to the exclusivity factor.
