5 Dashing Valet Trays for Men

eys, cufflinks, rings, watches (although we'd recommend keeping yours in fine style in a purpose-made watchwinder), tie clips, colognes, diaries, spectacles, luxury stationery - the detritus of a truly dapper gentleman's suave lifestyle deserves to be kept in exquisite style. Ideal for the fellow who habitually misplaces his accoutrements and accessories, the traditional valet tray is an old-fashioned concept which is proving especially handy in today's age of gadgets and gizmos.
