Chic
accessories
WHILE women are spoilt for choice when it
comes to accessories, men have to be content
with a meagre selection by comparison which is
why Royal Selangor has come up with their very
own range of Men’s Accessories that exudes
style with an urban chic.
Royal Selangor Marketing general manager
Chen Tien Yue said, “We saw this as an opportunity for us to leverage our design capabilities
as well as expand our range of wearables which
have become increasingly popular especially
among the younger market segment”.
Comprising 13 contemporary pieces, the
predominant motif in this collection is an
edgy faceted surface of impeccably-polished
finish, which plays across two cufflinks, a
keyring, flash drive, hip flask and bottle
opener.
The remaining cufflinks complement the
range with their graphic shapes and abstract
patterns, with designs borrowed from cut gems
or inspired by palm fronds and woven rattan.
With most of the collection suitable for engraving, these stylish accessories become even
more personalised with the addition of initials,
crests or monograms.
Another highlight of this new collection is
the introduction of three lariat-style neckpieces
which can be worn at the neck, waist or on the
hair. Equally versatile are chic and sexy key
fobs.
This season also sees Royal Selangor introducing the use of a new alloy Stannium in addition to pewter and other materials. This reflects
the company’s continuous
research and
development
in product
design and
manufacturing.
