Simon Tissot Dupont created his first-ever luggage sets after acquiring a leather workshop in 1872. From this point onwards, the Maison quickly became de rigueur for kings, princes, and other high-profile personalities, giving rise to a new art of travelling, and henceforth representing the French art-de-vivre worldwide: going as far as being dubbed the “Kings' trunk-maker”. The high level of quality requirement from the clientele meant the need to maintain the best savoir-faire possible.
1941 marked the appearance of the 1st petrol-fuelled lighter, which was then followed by the 30s-style 'Ligne 2' model in the 70s that the Maison could redefine itself.
These were the very first introduction and steps of ST Dupont into the luxury lighter industry, which would grow and continue to this day and age.
