Buly Pochette

There is nothing like that personally chosen gift you proudly hold on your way out of the store. Our pochette, adorned with the Buly Blazon and signature green marbling, carries your gift in the most elegant manner. A 2 to 5€ surcharge applies. Add this option in the ‘Is this a gift?’ option on the checkout page.

The Officine’s iconic gift-wraps

Upon request, your purchases are wrapped in a printed paper reproducing an old newspaper, the Journal de l’Empire, as an homage to the creation and history of Officine Universelle Buly. Depending on their size and shape, some of the products or accessories will be slipped into an elegant, green-marbled gift pochette. Bearing the Officine’s blazon, your presents now await delivery to their recipient. Please select it in the ‘Is this a gift?’ step of your shopping cart page.
