Le Creuset Is Retiring This Beloved Classic Color — Here's What to Buy

It’s no secret Le Creuset is a beloved staple in many kitchens. Its cast-iron cookware isn’t just beautiful; it’s also a must-have for cooking (if you know, you know). The Dutch ovens, in particular, have really put the brand on the map — they’re durable and make for an iconic piece to display on your countertop. And since most Le Creuset items are kept out in the open, whether it’s a stovetop kettle or a bread oven, picking the right color to match your home is crucial.

Personally, I’ve had my eye on Le Creuset’s matte navy since it launched back in 2023. It’s such a timeless color and looks fantastic in any kitchen! However, as part of the brand’s natural color cycle, it’s retiring this shade to make room for new colorways, including the final drop for 2024: Nuit. So, if you’ve wanted this deep blue shade, now’s your last chance to grab it! It’s on sale until it sells out completely, and we have a feeling it won’t take long. Check out our top matte navy picks worth snagging before it’s gone for good!
