When we think of the word ‘keepsakes’, the usual suspects come to mind: a watch, a ring, some photos. But many of our personal effects do end up being memorabilia for our loved ones, especially the ones we don’t expect. After all, the meaning attached to a keepsake belongs to the experience they share with us, like the chess games you played with your father, for instance.
So, in tandem with Men’s Folio Malaysia’s October theme of ‘Memories’, here are some personal effects that may end up meaning more to your loved ones than they did to you during your lifetime.
Not only has chess been around for more than 1,500 years, but the Hermes Samarcande chess set will probably continue entertaining your grandchildren — and theirs — as well.Some of the most notable humans ever have left behind their glasses in their memory, and this pair of Marc Jacobs Marc 874 would fit that bill well too.Having a tool that does only one thing well is always worth it, and this letter opener from Montblanc will find its place at home on desks across many generations.Insulated food containers have a very practical place in the world that we live in, and this food jug from Stanley will keep many tummies full.They say a cast iron pan is indestructible, and the beauty of cookware like this piece from Staub is that the longer you use it, the better it becomes.You will find double-edge razor holders from the turn of the century still in use today, so who knows how long this piece from Truefitt & Hill will last.
