WACKO MARIA and S.T. Dupont unveil ultra-limited Ligne2 lighter collab
WACKO MARIA turned S.T. Dupont's Ligne 2 Small into a 50-piece brass status object, split between gold and silver and sold through tightly controlled channels.
WACKO MARIA and S.T. Dupont turned a lighter into a flex object with real pedigree, not a souvenir. The first collaboration between the Tokyo label and the French maison arrived as a Ligne 2 Small in brass, finished in gold and silver, and capped at 25 numbered pieces in each colorway for 50 total worldwide.
That scarcity lands harder because S.T. Dupont is not some random hardware name bolted onto streetwear. The maison traces its lighter history to 1872, and it calls the Ligne 2 its most iconic lighter, the one recognized by its distinctive cling and balanced proportions. WACKO MARIA, meanwhile, has built its world on music, film, and outsider cool, with collaborators stretching from Tsuyoshi Noguchi and Tim Barber to Larry Clark. Putting those two codes together makes sense: one side brings Parisian luxury mechanics, the other brings Tokyo attitude and the kind of image discipline that turns an accessory into a signal.
The object itself is the point. WACKO MARIA’s product page says the Line 2 Small is a compact gas lighter made in France, assembled from about 70 parts and crafted through as many as 600 steps. The surface carries a Micro Diamond Head motif and WACKO MARIA graphics laser-engraved into the brass, which keeps the piece from reading like a simple logo slap. It is also shipped without gas, a detail that makes the item feel even more like a display piece first and a working tool second.
Pricing and distribution keep the release in the same rarefied lane. WACKO MARIA’s news page lists the lighter at ¥275,000, tax included, while the online store shows ¥250,000. Sales began on June 27, 2026, at 12:00 JST online, and the brand restricted availability to four direct-run stores plus its web store, with PARADISE TOKYO, the label’s first standalone flagship in Meguro-ku, Tokyo, positioned as the kind of place where a release like this belongs.
That is the real read here: this is not merch for casual smokers or even casual collectors. It is for the streetwear customer who understands that a brass lighter from S.T. Dupont and WACKO MARIA is less about flame than about taste, access, and being seen with the right object in hand.
