Ideal to touch up short hair and beards. Of mahogany colour and endowed with fine teeth of two different sizes, the pocket comb The Traveler restores perfection to capricious hair without fail.
Although there is historical evidence for the existence of pocket combs made of bone or wood in more or less refined shapes for centuries, its current, collapsible form was fixed in the 20th century. Firstly in vogue in the 1920s among the “garçonnes” for the maintenance of their bob cuts, the pocket comb became famous in the 1950s among bad boys with impeccable locks, admired in films: the rebel James Dean, the charismatic champion of the “greasers” Marlon Brando, on motorbikes and wearing leather jackets in the Wild One in 1953 and the West Side Story gangs with impeccable style.
It was then the time of the rock’n’roll idols: the eccentric Little Richards and the “King”, Elvis Presley and his rockabilly cut known as “Pompadour”, maintained with mastery thanks to a pocket comb and strengthened with gomina.
In the 1960s, the pocket comb became the companion of businessmen with impeccable hairstyles, embodied to perfection a few years ago in the film Mad Men by Don Drapper.
Well, from the outsider to the elegant perfectionist, from the rockabilly bad body to the dandy, it is impossible to live without carrying Le Voyageur in your pocket!
Cut from a block of very high quality acetate, it is shaped, sculpted and then polished. The teeth and notches are especially arranged so as not to injure the hair. A plant fibre, the acetate reveals a unique pattern specific to each comb.
This luxurious object is stored in our famous velvet pouches to be transported safely.
“Comb my hair. Just one stroke. And wet my hair with cologne…”
