Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Friends. We here at Penrose have started the year as busy as ever. This month the sales team will exhibiting at major fashion trade fairs in Florence, New York and Berlin, reaching out to the finest menswear stores in the world. Thereafter they will be selling from our London Soho showroom; as well as travelling throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Russia and the Far East. Also -  "Mr Penrose"  the designer ( he is our reclusive creative and founder) will be working with his favourite specialist suppliers developing ever more fresh and beautiful items for you to enjoy. His first port of call will be to his best kept secret - a fabulous textile research archive, which has literally tens of thousands of incredible pattern books, some dating back to the 18th century. He will spend  literally weeks here, selecting elements and textures which will become the basis for new ideas - stay tuned for further developments.

OFF THE CUFF

Following the lucky find at a northern Italian antiques market of a cache of 1890's - 1920's  vintage buttons, we have created an original heritage collection of utterly unique and incomparable cufflinks

Working very closely with a small select network of work-shops here in England and France, each one of these suppliers offers us a specific skill with which we create our small masterpieces of understated elegance. We veer away from the garish and try to cultivate modern, collectable classics.

Using semi-precious stones such as onyx, tigers eye, crystals and amethysts, these are cut to our own unique designs. Our coloured enamels are hand painted. We use rhodium as a base metal, the advantages of which, unlike silver, it does not tarnish nor does it scratch. 

Our cufflinks are items you want to not only wear, but also collect and perhaps offer as a gift. They are a timeless accessory to be cherished and proudly sported.

Oh and a quick heads up ...

we shall also be featuring a new line of super witty, post modern cufflinks embellished with nifty phrases and aphorisms to enliven even the dullest of winter meetings...........they will also make the gal in yer life chuckle - never a bad thing when the nights are long!
