Off the cuff

Men get few chances to wear eye-catching accessories. All the more reason to cherish the few remaining opportunities, such as German designer Julian Roensberg’s accessories: cufflinks (pictured) made from real, fake animal eyes, just like you see on stuffed animals.

Made from glass and hand painted in a four-day process, the range includes eyes of alligator, fox, viper or iguana and costs €190. “Style and fashion aren’t the same thing and the essence of one’s personal style is personal decisions for something individual,” says Roensberg. “Cufflinks may only appear briefly but are a point in a suit where one can set an entirely personal accent.” Roensberg’s online shop offers handmade belts, pearl collar stiffeners and a wide range of cufflinks (Manchettenknöpfe); see roensberg-shop.de, email info@roensberg.de or telephone 0049-9331-9800470.
