Some partnerships just make immediate sense, and the new Balm Case Pendant from Copenhagen-based LIÉ STUDIO and New York skincare label LESSE feels like one of them. Rooted in a shared appreciation for restraint, longevity, and intentional design, the two brands have come together to launch The Balm Case Pendant, a limited edition accessory that transforms an everyday essential into something elevated.
LIÉ STUDIO has built its reputation on timeless leather goods and jewellery designed for everyday wear, while LESSE continues to redefine clean skincare through minimalist, performance-focused formulations.
Together, they’ve created an object that sits somewhere between accessory and ritual while leaning into fashion’s ongoing fascination with charms and wearable essentials. The collaboration feels like a natural extension of both brands’ philosophies, turning lip care into something functional, collectible, and style-driven without feeling overly precious.
Designed to hold LESSE’s cult favourite Soothing Lip Balm, the leather pendant reflects LIÉ STUDIO’s understated approach to accessories while introducing a functional beauty element that feels genuinely wearable. Crafted from 100 percent Italian leather using repurposed excess material from LIÉ STUDIO’s latest collection, the piece is produced at a female-owned facility in Portugal and finished with subtle branding from both labels.
Available in Black, Taupe, and Dove Blue, the pendant is designed with an adjustable leather cord that can be styled in multiple ways, layered with jewellery or worn as a standalone piece. Each pendant also includes a complimentary LESSE Soothing Lip Balm, formulated with omega-rich oils and antioxidant compounds to soothe dry lips while supporting the brand’s science-driven approach to skincare.
The LIÉ STUDIO x LESSE Balm Case Pendant is available for $125 USD in limited quantities through both brands’ online stores and the LIÉ STUDIO Copenhagen flagship.
