Magnets

Magnets, those small decorative magnetic objects, have a fascinating history that goes far beyond their current popularity. Although the use of natural magnetic stones dates back to Antiquity, it was in the 20th century that magnets truly emerged as collectible objects. The invention of flexible magnets in the 1960s by Sam Hardcastle marked a turning point, paving the way for an infinite variety of shapes, colors, and designs.

Today, the COLEKA magnet collection includes 4300 references, reflecting the diversity and creativity of this universe. From tourist souvenirs to original artistic creations, to reproductions of famous monuments or popular characters, magnets offer a vast field of exploration for collectors. Their popularity is explained by their ease of transport, their durability, and their ability to evoke precise memories, making each piece a small piece of personal or cultural history.
