Läderach launches luxury Ramadan gift boxes across UAE stores

Premium Swiss chocolatier introduces crescent-shaped Half Moon boxes (Dhs 165-525) and octagonal Velvet boxes (Dhs 525-685) for Ramadan gifting. Hand-crafted pralines average Dhs 11 each across 10 UAE locations plus online delivery.

Swiss chocolatier Läderach has launched two luxury Ramadan gift collections across its UAE stores, featuring the Octagon Velvet Box (Dhs 525-685) and the crescent-inspired Half Moon Box (Dhs 165-525). According to Läderach's announcement, both collections showcase premium Swiss pralines crafted specifically for sharing during Iftar and Suhour gatherings.

The Octagon Velvet Box collection

The premium Octagon Velvet Box positions itself as "a statement of sophistication," housing individually crafted Swiss pralines in an eight-sided presentation. Available in 49 pieces for Dhs 525 or 64 pieces for Dhs 685, it's clearly aimed at those wanting to make an impression during the holy month.

Each praline reflects what Läderach calls "meticulous craftsmanship" — though at roughly Dhs 10-11 per piece, you'd expect nothing less. The octagonal design adds visual impact to Iftar tables, assuming your guests appreciate geometric chocolate presentations.

Ramadan Half Moon Box: crescent-inspired design

The Half Moon Box offers a more accessible approach with three sizes: 15 pieces (Dhs 165), 26 pieces (Dhs 315), and 49 pieces (Dhs 525). The crescent shape nods to Ramadan's lunar symbolism, though the chocolate quality matters more than the packaging poetry.

At Dhs 11 per praline across all sizes, the pricing remains consistent with Läderach's premium positioning. Whether hand-crafted pralines justify this premium over other luxury chocolates depends on your Ramadan gifting budget.

Läderach operates 10 locations across the Emirates, with three offering combined retail and café seating: Mall of the Emirates, Bawabat Al Sharq Mall, and Yas Mall. The café concept lets you sample before committing to a Dhs 525 box — a wise move, given the investment.

Online ordering through laderach.ae/shop provides home delivery.
