The demise of the small high street store and independent petrol service station was slow and painful. Mercilessly the big retailers wiped them out one by one and then mopped the floor with the last remaining die-hards. The same is set to happen on the internet as big retailers position themselves in the blocks preparing for the race ahead.

But there will always be a place for online independent retailers as long as customers keep demanding individuality, quality and something out of the ordinary in fashion accessories

Retailers like Dreamstone Jewellery, Simply Cufflinks, KJ Beckett and Patrick McMurray carry on the tradition of old fashioned customer service in a modern high tech environment. They know and understand their customer’s needs and wants first hand and are able to supply without fuss and bother. Some are working with British designers who seek prominence for their English made products.

Dreamstone; stock a comprehensive range of cufflinks by highly respected independent designer brands, like Fred Bennett, Kt Heat and Ortak, which can also be found in big department stores but chances are in limited range, variety and stock. One thing is for certain, when buying online from Dreamstone Jewellery you are not confronted by any human barriers. Just pop the item in the shopping basket, go to the checkout and then wait for the post man to deliver your little surprise.

Historic Anecdote

No one knows exactly when the cufflink arrived. Its first mention in

writing was in 1788, but for sometime before that buttons had ceased to be

decorative and cuff-fastening slits were being cut into clothing. The

ribbons or tape ties of the past were replaced with luxurious items, often

made with gold or silver and set with gemstones. These were an extravagance

reserved for the wealthy classes and were all hand-made.

KJ Beckett: Kind of a one stop for men’s fashion accessories. From ties to socks, underwear and some very stylish made to order shirts, they’ve even got some space age writing gear. And you will instantly recognise some of big names, like Kelvin Klein, Ted Baker and Drakes of London. However, the brand that stands out is Robert Charles and his collection of vibrant floral ties.

Historic Anecdote

1860: Bertie, the rakish Prince of Wales, ordered a short smoking jacket to wear at informal dinner parties at Sandringham from his friend, the tailor, Henry Poole. It was the first dinner jacket on record and was cut in midnight blue cloth. In 1886, a Mr James Potter of Tuxedo Park, New York, was a houseguest at Sandringham. He consequently ordered a similar dinner jacket to Bertie’s from Henry Poole & Co. It was this dinner jacket that Mr Potter wore at the Tuxedo Park Club inspiring numerous copies that fellow members wore as informal uniform for stag dinners. Thus the Tuxedo was born at Henry Poole & Co. It took only eight years for an accidental style to cross the Atlantic Ocean and soon became an American institution. Its humble, royal beginnings were soon forgotten when labelled the Tuxedo.

Patrick McMurray: Possibly one of the easiest online shops to navigate on the net, uncluttered, no fancy graphics or wiz bang computer technology. The focus is purely on the product with nothing to distract or annoy the customer. Here you will find one of the most out of ordinary range ofcufflinks by British independent designers like, Vivienne Westwood, Ian Flaherty, Timothy Everest, Victoria Richards, London Badge and Button and Shane McCoubrey.

The value is in the product more so than the name.

A closing anecdote: cufflinks actually predate the shirt. According to the National Cufflink Society, evidence of their use can be found in ancient hieroglyphics in King Tut’s tomb. But cufflinks as we know them were first

used during the 1700s.

Christmas looms ever closer, what to buy him keeps plaguing your mind. You bombarded with adds and catalogues spill through your letter box.

There are not enough hours in the day for a busy housewife who also has to work 9 to 5 and the thought of traipsing through malls and down high streets with the kids in tow does not conjure any kind of motivation.

It need not be so. Take advantage of online shopping; let your fingers do the walking. No parking tickets, road rage, lousy cappuccinos.

No standing in shops bigger than football fields trying to find a shop assistant, standing in ques with someone breathing impatiently down your neck. You can do your research in the comfort and security of your home.

And there you will find the inaccessible easily accessible, the range variety and quality are available without sacrificing quality

For decoration alone there are silk ties, ear rings, lapel badges, the odd pendant and of course cufflink. They all perform a particular function, but the wallet, apart from a little decoration is purely, a functional fashion accessory.

The “norm” for most men is a collection of two, maybe three wallets. Where as, with the more decorative accessories, as mentioned, a collection can be anything from one to hundreds.

The wallet was developed almost immediately after the introduction of paper currency to the West in the 1600s. (The first paper currency was introduced in the New World by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1690.) Prior to the introduction of paper currency, purses (resembling simple drawstring leather pouches) were used for storing coins. Early wallets were made primarily of cow or horse leather and included a small pouch for printed calling cards.

The modern bi-fold wallet with multiple "card slots" achieved its uniform standard size in the early 1950s with the introduction of the first credit cards in 1951. Wallet design remained mostly unchanged throughout most of the late 20th century, while today wallet design has exploded into myriad shapes, designs, and colours from dozens of designers.

Patrick Cox wallets are simply an invitation to handle luxury leather everlasting, just a touch each time will satisfy your senses. You can traipse up and down the high street and surf the net but you will be hard pressed to find anything that compares admirably. Patrick Cox shoes have always taken centre stage, now his wallets are out of the dark and into the light, as designer wallets are elevated to fashion accessory status, against an autumn landscape.

Simon Carter; his design motivations are driven by simplicity and functionality, but with a distinct degree of innovation added, his most notable contribution to date is the jeans wallet, light weight, easy fit and made from fine Italian Napa leather; The lining, cartoon comic strip in full colour. He also produces a small range of mock croc leather belts in black and brown. Don’t be fooled, a belt is more just a functional brace, chosen wisely it will perform a function while framing perfectly a collection of clothing, belts are on display just like ties and cufflinks and another way to express your self.
