Thomas Sabo Notes to Editors:

      THOMAS SABO designs jewellery and watches of excellent quality, whose
       individual designs and exceptional choice of materials set them apart from other
       brands. With its distinctive style, the brand sets trends that are always in tune
       with contemporary fashions. The variety of designs means that the brand
       reaches a diverse range of fashion conscious individuals.

       that it can react quickly and flexibly to market demands. With constant
       innovations, the company will continue to set new standards, both today and in
       the future, to ensure that THOMAS SABO remains strong, globally successful
       lifestyle brand in the long term.

      THOMAS SABO products also meet the highest standards: only high-quality
       materials such as 925 sterling silver and zirconia stones are used, as well as
       stainless steel and ceramic. These materials are treated carefully and a high
       proportion of the work is done by hand.
      The THOMAS SABO brand stands for exceptional versatility and currently
       comprises four collections –
                          THOMAS SABO Sterling silver
                          THOMAS SABO Charm club
                          THOMAS SABO Watches
                          THOMAS SABO Beauty

All existing collections are harmoniously coordinated with each other and can be
combined in a variety of ways which go beyond the limits of the individual collection
lines. This particular feature is rarely seen in the jewellery and watch segment.

        With the “Rebel at Heart”, “Seasonal” and “Classic” lines, THOMAS SABO sterling
         silver addresses a broad target group. Strikingly rocking, playful or timelessly
         elegant – the collection offers the right piece of jewellery for every individual
         style and occasion.

        With THOMAS SABO Charm Club, the trend for charm bracelets reaches new,
         glittering heights. The Charm fans’ passion for collecting is regularly reignited
         with new additions each season.

        The design style of the sterling silver collection is taken up and further
         developed by THOMAS SABO Watches with the range comprising of over 80
         watches.

        The beauty range is a new venture for THOMAS SABO seeing the successful
         release of their first fragrance ‘Charm Rose’ which was followed by their new
         fragrance ‘Charm Kiss’ just this month. Expansion has seen THOMAS SABO
         introduce body lotions, shower creams and lip glosses to their ranges.
