Men's cufflinks?

Taiwan Where Can I Find...?
1

Preferably silver and nice. They are a holiday gift for my husband.

Also, this is a silly question, but are there any cufflink dos and don’ts? Are they ever “too dressy”? Can they be worn withou a tie? He only wears a jacket for special occasions, otherwise, it’s a dress shirt and sweater or sweater vest.

Thanks in advance.

Let me return a favour.
My wife got me a gorgeous Sterling tiebar and cufflinks set from Georg (sic) Jensen, they have at least one shop in either the oldest or second oldest Mitsukoshi in the Land of a Hundred Mitsukoshis across from Warner Village.
They’re on the ground floor in with the makeup and jewelery places.
They also used to have a location in the Howard Plaza on Jen Ai.
Seems they’re Danish, I think, and only do silver.
I’ve never heard of rules for cufflinks, as long as you have the cuffs for 'em (and the class :wink: ).

Tiffany also has some very tasteful, simple, silver cuff links, but check Georg Jensen first; their designs are usually pretty interesting.

I’d wear cuff links without wearing a jacket, but only if I was wearing a tie; something about an open collar that makes me fold the cuffs of my sleeves up twice just below the elbow when I’m wearing a dress shirt…

Thanks for the tips, guys! I’ll check these places out this week.

And while you are at Warner Villa. There is a very expensive and weird place that sells “Mr. P” and other trendy things in the mall under the theatres. In the area that they renovated, in the back near the cr

Thanks! I get it. I saw that he’d picked up a pair of inexpensive ones so now I know what they look like. I think he’ll enjoy getting a “nice” pair.

according to some of my lady friends, gold is hard to pull off for guys. either its very pimp and gaudy and you end up being a rapper or looking like a big fat old balding chinese mainlander…sorry (i know i am generalizing)…

so gold is doable but silver platinum is safer.

of course if he looks like brad pitt than anything will look good

Hey Braxton,

I got my hubby a pair last year from Mitsugoshi, I think Sogo mens floor also had them. Both places had a large selection from different designers but do check hubby’s shirts. After I got J. his I realized he only had one shirt he could use them with!

Perfect excuse to have him some shirts made, as well! :wink:

Yes, he’s got several new shirts that call for cufflinks and I thought having some new shirts made for his bday would be a good idea.

The man takes up nearly ten times the storage space I do for clothes–there’s something wrong with this picture… :ponder:

Tell me about :unamused: Same situation in our house :slight_smile:

Actually after I bought him the cufflinks he got some shirts made himself and now whenever I buy him a new shirt I look at the cuffs.

By the way Braxton, I was at Mitsukoshi today and bought some at 50% off the regular 3500nt price.

Does anyone have addresses for where I can find Georg Jensen’s stores in Taiwan? Those cufflinks sounds just like what I need, but no idea where GJ can be found. :stuck_out_tongue:

Pity you can’t get to China, because you can pick up excellent copies of all branded cufflinks for around Rmb30 a pair. I can’t see any reason on earth to pay a squillion for the real things.

Thanks Michael, this Emma site lists all the GJ stores. Unlike Google that only listed stores in the north. Sweeeet!

Yeah, she actually gets some sort of email notification every time there’s a sale in her favorite department store (to my disdain)…
