The beautiful and fashionable PUNCH BRACELET has a hidden sharp 7mm cigar punch cutter and is easily adjustable to the wrist size of the wearer The collaboration PUNCH BRACELET – Villa Casdagli Eye is a limited and numbered edition (99 items) retailing for 138 EUR. It is available for purchase at online shops of both partners and in the near future through selected distributors of Casdagli Cigars.
Jeremy Casdagli, the Founder and Co-Owner of Casdagli Cigars and Villa Casdagli Collection stated:
“I remember the Nazar amulets decorating my grandfather’s house in Mykonos, so they always carried a special place in my childhood memory. A big thank you to Pierre and Pablo in agreeing to marry these meaningful eye shaped beads to their beautiful and practical punch bracelet. A perfect foil to those that feel malevolent towards our wonderful hobby.“
Pierre Jourdan, Founder and Co-Owner of LES FINES LAMES says:
“In recent years, we’ve forged remarkable collaborations with Villa Casdagli, a brand that holds a special place in my heart. Jeremy Casdagli, a pioneer who placed his trust in us in the early days, remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration. As they say, third time’s the charm, and it’s with great enthusiasm and gratitude that we collaborate with the Casdagli family for the third time. May the mystical eye of Nazar watch over us, ushering in a tide of boundless good fortune and happiness for Villa Casdagli and Les Fines Lames!,”
