men¡¯s fashion accessories ,silk ties (October 27, 2007)

As a buyer for an online shop selling men¡¯s luxury fashion accessories, including, silk ties, cufflinks, wallets and belts, I have to adhere to customer demands and source products accordingly. And so begins an arduous task.

The men¡¯s fashion accessories market in England is undersupplied and the demand for English made products is strong and getting stronger, so the balance is in my favour, however meeting this demand is not easy. To find cufflinks that conform to core principles of good design .i.e. ¡°form and function¡± amongst all the imitations. The task gets harder and even more so when searching for cufflinks that are handmade in England with a maximum retail price of £65.00. However through persistence, my searching tactics were well rewarded. The first designer I discovered that conformed to my selection criteria was Ian Flaherty who works out of his London studio. His cufflinks stems are made from pure English Pewter, double coated with rhodium and inset with Swarovski Crystals or hand enamelled. Ian¡¯s cufflinks are smartly designed and true to good form and function and priced accordingly.
