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….
At revenues of over €1.09 billion last year, the House of Bulgari’s original founder Sotirio Voulgaris and his descendents could very well be larger than the Greek economy itself!!!!
The gifted old Greek jewelller died many years ago but the remaining family did one of the great share market share-swap deals of all time and ended up carrying a large swag of LVMH, one of the worlds largest “luxury” product groups. Its revenues are a staggering €20.3 billion and if you take a pick of any luxury good, or luxury “house” odds are they own it!!!
One of the great Greek exports (outside of shipping!), The House of Bulgari has for years been the jeweller to the stars. Our link man for the day can then only be another of Greek extraction, Taki Theodoracopulos or simply TAKI. A veteran Riviera Man, he is a tennis ace….gossip….jail bird….and a damn fine writer even if his political persuasions are at times are questionable. Our Link Man at large with Minouche Le Blanc 1975 ............
His classic book Princes Playboys and High Class Tarts delves in to the world of Eurotrash and explores the world of the rich and famous that very few hear of or see. Life is meant to be about the pursuit of good times without distractions….ie if you have to ask how much it costs you obviously can’t afford it. Taki’s portrayal of this band of “playboys” and their “tarts” that all live under their own “code” is hilarious….a real eye opener.
Todays links are of course BVLGARI (as it is commonly known) and are worn with a cotton Brooks Brothers shirt and a Lanvin silk neck tie.
Where were the links bought?………Gstaad of course darling…….
