Christofle. Two pairs together. No splitting up. I bought these to carry my own chopsticks, but after I forgot my HERMES chopsticks at a restaurant, I couldn't bring myself to carry them again. The Hermes ones snapped in my bag and I had to throw them away. Lately, more and more restaurants are reusing plastic utensils, so I don't need my own chopsticks anymore. They've been sitting in the closet ever since. I polished away the tarnish as much as I could. Please try to polish them further yourself. I got rid of the carefully stored accessories and box last New Year's Eve. I should have kept them... I haven't used them much, so the wooden parts are clean. Please check the condition in the photos. However, the tarnish is characteristic of the material and unavoidable. Of course, they are genuine. If you can approach them with the mindset that they're cute compared to the shared chopsticks at restaurants, that would be great...
