7-Eleven entices customers with Le Creuset cutlery set

7-Eleven has joined hands with French cookware Le Creuset to roll out a set of “east meets west” cutlery collection for its latest redemption programme.The collection includes a set of 10 utensils, including two knives, two forks, two spoons and four pairs of chopsticks. Each utensil comes along with a miniature Le Creuset casserole, which serves as a little container for protecting the parts with stainless steel or a chopstick rest.The convenience store describes the novel blending aesthetics and functionality which allows customers to conveniently carry and use the utensils everywhere, whereas the chic and environmentally-friendly design injects novelty in the brand's redemption programme.Le Creuset products have become popular in Hong Kong over recent years, especially among young women.[gallery link="file" ids="131663,131664,131668,131669,131670,131671"]When asked the reason why choosing Le Creuset over cartoon brand this time, Rose Yeung, sales and marketing director of 7-Eleven Hong Kong & Macau said, "We believe that innovation can bring excitement to customers.
