Les Fines Lames Ships 40 New Punch Bracelets

After debuting its Punch Bracelet last September, Les Fines Lames—a French company best known for its cigar knives—will be shipping an updated version this week.

As is the case with previous versions, the new Punch Bracelets are bead bracelets made in France that feature a connector designed with a 7mm punch cutter. However, the newest incarnations now feature an adjustable cord, meaning that the size of the bracelet can be adjusted for each individual user.

In an email, Pierre Jourdan, president of design and creation at Les Fines Lames, told halfwheel there are a total of 40 new bracelet design options available in six different pricing tiers.

Tier 1 ($78) — These three bracelets include a 316L stainless steel punch. However, there are no charms or special beads included.

That version is limited to 500 pieces and is designed with an exclusive PCA charm.
