Trifari Sweater Guards

Trifari was founded in 1910 by Gustavo Trifari and his uncle. The company lived through the rough 1929 depression and with the arrival of Alfred Philippe in 1930 turned its luck 180 degrees. Philippe came form a fine jewelry background, Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, and was able to create unique and precious costume designs. His attention to details and the resemblance to fine jewelry, made Trifari the leader in its field.
