Hermés and those lucky cuff links..........$135

One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.

Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story.  Read on in this series.....

Hermés and those lucky cuff links in your scribe’s repertoire.

Let me begin today with a confession that I truly believe that there is such a thing as lucky cuff links…a visit to the track or the casino demands the wearing of ones lucky links. It’s a long ride home after a day at the track or a session of Chemin De Fer if you’re not wearing them.

Hermés International of course is known for all things equestrian, and their silk ties and cuff links are a must in any successful power dressing business man’s range of options. Their unique silk scarves and the famous “Kelly” bag are a must in any business woman’s wardrobe. The last of the “family” owned fashion houses, Hermés has been kitting us out with their finest for centuries.

My lucky Hermés cuff links are one of a few that always accompany me to Royal Randwick, Churchill Downs or Ascot. Not that I’m a gambler but as one would in business, you should always have an exit strategy and you must always be prepared for the worst. If that means incorporating superstition in to one’s business plans, then so be it.

The great Giacomo at Churchill Downs........

These Hermés cuff links worn with appropriate Hermés silk tie have witnessed the winner of the Kentucky Derby and the famous Melbourne Cup….Your scribe rests his case.



Happy Punting


Onward
