Expertise Cultivated Over a Long History
Since its establishment in 1899, Louis FAGLIN has been a French men's accessory factory brand that has produced cufflinks for many renowned brands, primarily in Europe. It continues to supply products to globally famous Maisons even today.
In 1924, the fourth-generation Louis Boyer invented the T-bar system, releasing it as an easy-to-attach cufflink. This T-bar system became the standard for cufflinks and an indispensable mechanism for gentlemen.
Pascal Bertran, the sixth generation of Louis FAGLIN, preserves over 15,000 cufflinks from the "Secret Vintage Collection Archive" crafted by artisans throughout the brand's long history.
It is unique that so many OEM models for renowned brands have been developed in a single factory, with the collection remaining in good condition. Parts such as shells, stones, and crystals from the original era are still available and used in the reproduction and remakes of Louis FAGLIN's vintage models.
The history of Swarovski, including changes to its company name and trademarks over time, can be traced through its crystal materials. This is because vintage items in six different types of packaging are carefully preserved.
A significant difference from modern crystals is, for example, that the inside of the crystal is gold-plated. This gold has deepened in color over the years, lending depth to the crystal above it.
Furthermore, vintage crystals have unique expressions that cannot be replicated today, as their colors and cuts differ from modern ones. The long history of 100 years can be felt from the colors of vintage cufflinks and crystals.
In addition to cufflinks, they also handle tie bars, lapel pins, button covers, pendant tops, bangles, bracelets, money clips, and writing instruments.
The Louis FAGLIN collection, created with expertise cultivated over a long history and carefully preserved jewelry stock, features accessories perfect for the upcoming Christmas and party season.
