Series Overview

Lift-top or fully automatic cases are integrated into cigarette packs, women's compacts, lipstick and lip balm containers, and even small wallets (such as the iconic "Evans Carryall").

While other brands like Ronson also offer combination cases, Evans holds multiple pioneering patents for its integrated multi-functional women's compact and lighter design. For example, it has patented the unified mechanical linkage that combines the compact's switch with the lighter's base latch.

This is thanks to its early expertise in drumheads. In the vintage accessories market, Evans' Combination design is widely recognized as the industry standard of its time.
