For Australian home cooks and culinary enthusiasts, a rare opportunity has emerged to invest in legendary kitchenware at a significant discount. The revered French brand Le Creuset, synonymous with lifetime quality, is hosting a standout sale on the David Jones website, slashing prices on some of its most sought-after items.
Substantial Savings on Signature Pieces
The sale features dramatic price cuts across several lines, with the stunning Coastal Blue collection taking centre stage. One of the most notable offers is on the Cast Iron Round Casserole in Coastal Blue, 28cm/6.7L. This versatile centrepiece, perfect for everything from hearty stews to Sunday roasts, has been reduced to $468, down from its original price of $780.
Constructed from 100% cast iron, this piece exemplifies why the brand is considered an investment. The material's superior heat retention is ideal for slow cooking, ensuring flavours are locked in and meals remain succulent. The design includes practical easy-grip handles, a tight-fitting lid, and a famously durable, easy-clean enamel interior built for daily use.
Shoppers have been quick to praise the casserole dish online. One delighted David Jones customer remarked, "Totally worth the cost. Boeuf Bourguignon, cassoulet, soups, Thai curries — all beautifully cooked in this superb casserole dish." Another noted, "It’s a lot lighter than I thought it would be considering the size. Gorgeous colour and I love cooking in it!"

A Century of Craftsmanship
This sale provides access to pieces born from a rich heritage. Le Creuset's history began in 1925 in France, when Belgian industrialists Armand Desaegher, a casting expert, and Octave Aubecq, an enamelling specialist, joined forces. They pioneered vibrant, enamelled cast iron cookware, starting with the iconic orange "Volcanic" cocotte.
The brand's reputation grew through bold colours, collaborations with designers like Raymond Loewy, and endorsements from culinary icons including Julia Child. Today, over 100 years later, Le Creuset is still handcrafted in its original French foundry, remaining a global symbol of durability and timeless style.
For Australian shoppers, this rare David Jones sale is a chance to acquire heirloom-quality kitchenware that promises decades of reliable service. As many long-term owners attest, the initial outlay is quickly justified by flawless performance and enduring beauty.
