Just in time for the July 4th holiday, the S.T. Dupont Declaration of Independence Collection is now shipping.

Originally shown off in February at TPE 2023, the S.T. Dupont Declaration of Independence Collection is made up of two pieces: A Ligne 2 Lighter ($1,995) and a fountain pen ($1,695). Each item is limited to 176 pieces.

The company’s signature Ligne 2 lighter gets a stars and stripes finish and “1776” engraved into the body of the lighter. While the colorway is new, the lighter itself is not. Like previous Ligne 2 lighters, it features two flame nozzles allowing it to create a wider flame. To use the lighter, the user opens the flip-top lid—creating a signature pinging sound—and then flicks the roller wheel to the left using their right thumb. This turns the flint and lights the dual flames.

These items are exclusive to the U.S. market, where Coles of London distributes S.T. Dupont.
