Founded with a love for unique antiquities and craftsmanship, our online boutique brings together a curated collection of rare and vintage pre-loved lighters from iconic brands like Cartier, Dunhill, S.T. Dupont, and many more since 2020.

Each piece we source has its own story, embodying timeless elegance and refined functionality. We pride ourselves on quality and authenticity, ensuring every lighter is inspected and serviced before it reaches your hands.
