We took a trip to Tiffany & Co. on our Luxury Excursion to find out more about why Tiffany has become so iconic.
We spoke with the Store Manager Roland who was very helpful and provided us with good information.
Tiffany & Co. was founded in 1837 by Charles L. Tiffany. Tiffany was driven and came to have their brand renowned as the “Symbol of Engagement.”
Tiffany & Co. is most commonly known for the Tiffany Blue – which is an iconic and unique color designed and trademarked by Tiffany. If you go out and see the color on a box you immediately would know it is from Tiffany.
Tiffany is well known for their jewelry and especially their rings. However recently Tiffany & Co. has branched out and even produce lifestyle products of various types that appeal to all types of customers.
The launch of the Bulgari Aluminio in 1998 created quite a stir. Its unusual combination of black rubber and lightweight aluminum resulted in an unconventional but highly attractive, eye-catching sports watch with a slick Italian soul. In 2020, Bulgari staged a much-anticipated comeback of the Aluminum with automatic movements and an increased water-resistance of 100 metros in time-and-date, chronograph and GMT models.
One of the most distinguishing features of the Aluminium collection is the thick rubber bezel inscribed with Bvlgari Bvlgari. Picking up on the vessel’s black hull, the rubber bezel of the Aluminium Amerigo Vespucci is black, matching the black rubber strap. Home time can be tracked on the bright yellow and black anodised aluminium 24-hour flange with white numerals indicated by a central yellow arrow-tipped hand with lume. The yellow and black details on the sloping GMT flange and dial are meant to reference the golden trimmings and black railings of the Amerigo Vespucci.
The reusable masks, which are made in Italy, also provide particle filtration efficiency (PFE) and are enhanced with antimicrobial technology which protects the product from microbes and germs. The outer and inner lining are made from 100 percent cotton and the filling from 100 percent polyester. Each mask also comes with its own matching travel pouch, which is also treated with antimicrobial technology.
Twenty percent of each sale will go towards the Burberry Foundation Covid-19 Community Fund, operated by The Burberry Foundation, to help communities affected by the pandemic as well as those working on the frontline. Established in April, the fund has so far donated 160,000 pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE) gear, and has helped relief efforts in Asia, Europe, the Americas and Africa.
Many brands and retailers have launched their own face masks since the outbreak of the pandemic, though the luxury industry has been noticeably hesitant to jump on the trend, perhaps due to concerns that doing so could be interpreted as a move to profit on the crisis.
But as the world continues to battle the pandemic and a return to normality seems an increasingly vague concept, it’s likely that more luxury labels will follow suits and begin producing their own high-end facewear.
