Product Insights
Tateossian's D-Shape Cuff Buttons use genuine braided carbon fiber and palladium for a lightweight, scratch-resistant, and tarnish-proof accessory. Their swivel back rotates 90 degrees for one-handed fastening and lies flat to stay secure. Priced at $325 CAD, the independent atelier's cost goes more to materials like carbon fiber and palladium than to brand markup, a tradeoff for durability and understated design that fits most shirts without flashiness.
Verified claims
- Carbon fiber inlay
- Genuine braided carbon fiber: lightweight, scratch-resistant, tarnish-proof, and thermally stable.
- Price rationale
- Independent atelier means price funds palladium and carbon fibre construction, not brand markup.
- Swivel back
- Swivel back rotates 90 degrees for easy one-handed fastening and lies flat to stay locked.
- Closure
- 90° rotation aligns bar for easy insertion; spring tension keeps it closed when flat.
- Wearability
- 0.5 face and carbon fibre design avoid flashiness and fit most shirts.
- Brand Value
- At $325 CAD, more of the cost goes to materials than to brand markup vs luxury peers.
- Care
- Tarnish-resistant palladium and scratch-resistant carbon fibre require only occasional gentle cleaning.
