About Samuel Gassmann

Samuel Gassmann is a Paris-based menswear accessories label founded in September 2009 by its eponymous designer, born in Paris in 1974. After studying art history at the Sorbonne, he began researching the history of the shirt button in 2007, work that led to his first cufflink design. Every piece is made by hand in his workshop at rue Dupin, with two collections released each year covering cufflinks, shirt studs, rings, bracelets and collar stays. Designs favour understated mother-of-pearl, with silver or bronze links hidden beneath the shirt and diamonds tucked inside rings rather than shown off, a quiet, logo-free take on luxury. One design entered the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2018.
