A statement of gracious living and success, the design of the
Treble Collection was meticulously crafted in partnership with
Thomas Lyte, Goldsmiths and
Silversmiths to Her Majesty the Queen. Ideal for luxurious
bathrooms and private bar spaces, the exclusive collection is
forged from solid sterling silver and 24K gold plate, with each vessel and matching
KOHLER Composed faucet hand-engraved with bespoke artwork and
numbered for authenticity. Each collection is accompanied by a
certificate of authenticity signed by Manchester United legends and
members of the Treble team Andrew
Cole, Dwight Yorke,
Denis Irwin, as well as David Kohler.
"Creating unique products of quality and distinction is our
passion," said David Kohler,
President and CEO of Kohler Co. "We're honored to celebrate such a
tremendous moment in Manchester United's history in a way that
combines the spirit of competition, innovation, and
craftsmanship."
The front of the collection vessel displays the Manchester
United team emblem engraved with the title "League Winners,
16 May 1999". Continuing the
exquisite detail and artistry, the sides of the vessel commemorate
the European and FA Cup championships, respectively, and the total
number of goals – 123 – for all three of Manchester United's
championships.
"Our partnership with Kohler allows us to engage with our fans
through the lens of design and product innovation, and the launch
of the Treble Collection is an exciting first step," said
Richard Arnold, group managing
director of Manchester United.
In 2018, Manchester United and Kohler entered into a multi-year
global partnership, with the KOHLER brand logo featured on the
sleeve of the iconic shirts, for both the men's and women's
teams. The partnership also includes joint participation on game
day activities, innovative improvements to club facilities, global
