The beginning of this article should start with a nice breakfast.
In 1961, a movie starring Audrey Hepburn, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, was popular around the world and is still one of the most classic love and fashion films in the history of film, it is also the best-selling film since Hepburn filmed a movie.
You may be confused, what kind of brand is it – why can a movie be willingly and blatantly use her name to advertise her; why can it let Audrey Hepburn stand in her window to eat breakfast while concentrating on it?
If you have the same curiosity as me, let’s take a look at her (Tiffany) past and present.

Tiffany’s Blue & Small Blue Box
As “Tiffany Blue” was loved by more and more people, the brand first registered it as a trademark in 1878, becoming the brand’s royal color, PANTONE color number is 1837, this number is exactly the year of Tiffany’s establishment, because the brand is applied for a color patent, so no one can use it without permission.
When Audrey Hepburn filmed Breakfast at Tiffany, there were 40 heavily armed guards to prevent Tiffany’s small blue box from being stolen. Why is it so important? How does this box become the most recognizable Fashion Icon in the retail sector?
“Tiffany Blue” was used in the brand’s gift box, “Little Blue Box” immediately became the most representative symbol, whether it is a ring, earrings, necklaces, diamonds or accessories, will be installed in such a white ribbon in the blue box. Tiffany also registered trademarks for “Tiffany Blue Box” and “Tiffany Blue Gift Box.”
As everyone knows, only customers who purchase Tiffany products can get the “small blue box”, which was set by Charles Tiffany personally.
In 1906, the New York Sun had a report: “No matter how much money people are willing to pay, Mr. Charles Tiffany has one thing that is not for sale, but for giving, and that is his box.
The company strictly stipulates that the empty box with the company name cannot be brought out of the company. The Tiffany blue gift box must be equipped with the company’s products, because it represents the company’s guarantee of its quality. ”
