Babette sponsors MTV European Music Awards goodie bags

Lady Gaga

 All of us at Babette Wasserman were delight to be asked to be one the official MTV Music Award sponsors 2011.  Presented by Selena Gomez, the event took place in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Sunday 6th November and included some of the best music acts today.  We were super chuffed to give a pair of our Goldwing Cufflinks to stars such as Anthony Kiedis from The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bruno Mars,  and our Candy Barrel Bracelets was given to Lady Gaga, Adele, Katy Perry and many more on the night.

Gossip from the night included a naked streaker running onto the stage to speak to HEROES star Hayden Panettiere who asked him to join her for a pint after the show!  The streaker replied..

‘I’d love that but I haven’t got my phone on me right now!’

Lady Gaga requested that her dressing room be 32 degrees celcius, maybe she prances around naked, wearing just our Candy Barrel Bracelet!

Cockney Rhyming Slang Cufflinks in Harvey Nichols

We are delighted to reveal that two new Cockney Rhyming Slang cufflink designs have been released as part of the limited edition range for Harvey Nichols UK.

A truly British collection for a truly British store, these exclusive designs are based on our country’s love of animals and old cockney rhyming terms. One of these terms is the infamous ‘Elephant and Castle = Parcel’. It was this quintessential East End reference that inspired the gorgeous Elephant and Castle cufflinks, the perfect gift for any patriotic Londoner. The Horse and Hound cufflinks were created around a classic hunting theme beautifully finished off with a detailed miniature ‘Pound’ coin at the back.

The cufflinks are hand-made and plated with rhodium. They retail at £45.    Horse and Hound Cufflinks Elephant and Castle Cufflinks

Street art during Pitti Show

Babette Wasserman stand 2 clet florence exhibition

 

 

 

We launched our new beautiful Cufflink collection in Florence at the renowned Pitti Uomo Show in June.

While walking through the picturesque cobbled streets with my sales team, we landed upon these humorous street signs that we loved. Clet Abraham, a French artist living in Italy, was responsible for these cheeky signs dotted around town.      A black silhouette sneakily carrying away the white no-entry bar or the straight ahead only white arrow cleverly transformed into an angel with wings complete with halo.                                                                                http://www.cocacolla.it/arts/clet-abraham-sticker-art/?lang=en

Here is a picture to illustrate this and one of our international theme stand at Pitti.
