That's not a knife...............A$105

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 .....

If there is an animal that can scare the pants off your scribe, its a crocodile in the wild.  These living dinosaurs are quite beautiful creatures but never, ever, mess around with one if you see one.  They are VERY dangerous and your scribe has seen one in captivity that was a staggering 4.5 metres long. Lunch for this guy, whose name was "Charlie" was a dozen chickens cheerfully thrown over what I thought was a substantially inadequate holding pen fence.  Charlie was captured in the waterways of the Northern Territory in Australia and now spends his time sunning himself and waiting for those lunch time chickens.  I hate to think what devastation he caused in the wild waterways in his younger days.



As a fashion accessory, there is only one thing that can surpass the Hermes Burkin bag for a lady executive on the move and that is a crocodile skin Hermes Burkin bag.  The Burkin of course was named after singer Jane Burkin and if your looking at the bottom of the range style, you will get more change out of buying an old car from $10K.  It is an item of true excellence in craftsmanship and a symbol of luxury in only the way Hermes can.


When your scribe is on the prowl or getting away on the trails for the weekend and his date happens to sport a crocodile skin Burkin, what better way to compliment the moment than with some crocodile skin links.


These links were found in a hotel gift store in Kalimantan, Indonesia whilst your scribe was on the coffee trails some years ago. Who knows how they ended up where they were but alas your scribe can never resist such things when on the road.  I often wonder if they came from one of Charlies distant relatives!!!!!

 They are worn with a Savil Row cotton shirt and a Salvatore Feragammo silk neck tie with none other than crocodile motifs!!!

Til Later


ONWARD
