Vintage Michelin Bibendum Coin Box Figurine
The Inside Story
„This figurine reminds me of holidays in the Provence. A little coffee and a croissant on the place du village, while rusty Citroen 2CV pass by, honking to greet the patron. Pure relaxation!“
The rare vintage statuette which doubles as a coin bank has a timeless quality due to its metal sheen and only slight patina. The Michelin man, who actually goes by the name Bibendum or short Bib was a true hero of his time – an era when company mascots were still the way to go in advertising – and has kept his strong mojo through the ages. It was produced in a limited edition and only handed out to selected retailers in the late 80s, celebrating the companies 100 year anniversary.
This exclusive piece is in great condition and comes from a large collection of Michelin memorabilia and features the rare set up with the Baby-Bib on its arm, executed in a nice polished and patinated aluminium.

Handmade essentials
Our watch essentials are handmade in Italy. Each item is an individual piece with its own structure and colour which may differ slightly from the one on display in our online shop.
Care instruction
Our watch essentials are made of the finest natural materials. If they are made of leather you can be sure there is no chemical coating or waxing on top, which is why they are so very soft and full of character. This natural quality also causes aging of the material as time passes. Every item gets its own individual patina, which is something we love. Please don’t treat the leather with oil or wax as it ruins the whole nature of the product.
This also comes with a warning: avoid direct contact with water, as it may cause stains. We recommend not watering plants next to these watch essentials.
