The Thousands

There’s a new member of the Benah family and congratulations, it’s a cuff. Old favourite, the Kodi leather cuff is the resentful older sibling in this scenario, because the new Limits Cuff has been pushed out of designer Brenda Harvey’s creative birth canal and is taking all the attention.

More striking than your average newborn, the cuffs are a wrist-full of metal chain. But before you go raiding the back of a tow truck for a few spare links, know that these cuffs are no scrap metal. With a little elastic for comfort and zoned strictly nickel-free, these cuffs are more resort-wear slash C3-PO than underworld ruffian.

Benah, as a brand, is always mixing up hard and soft and these wrist-huggers are no different. There’s metal – tough, and the almost delicate shape of the chain detail – dainty. I know, it’s confusing. Will they make you want to help an old lady through traffic, or push her into it? It’s bipolar fashion.

As for the range of colours, there’s gunmetal, brushed silver, the popular-to-the-point-of-difficult-to-find rose gold and your best bet for dressing up as your favourite Star Wars protocol droid, brushed gold.
