* Cufflinks became popular in the mid-19th Century when men’s collars shirts and cuffs were starched, which meant they were too stiff to be secured by a simple button. The trend continued until the swinging sixties when the floppy shirt cuffs took over and nobody needed them. A revival in the Eighties saw them come back into fashion, and today these small ‘works of art’ provide a great finishing touch that demonstrate an undeniable attention to detail.
