Traditionally lanyards have been items which were regarded as a sign or rank and power. The origin of the word “Lanyard” comes from the french “Laniere” which is a strap or letter thong which was traditionally used by naval or military types as a way of keeping a sword or pistol at hand. The letter thong was wrapped around the writs, attached to the weapon in question and therefore as soon as trouble started the holder of the “Laniere” was ready for action. This is still the case today as those who are in business immediately see the associations between the world of warfare and the actions they undertake everyday to fight their competition and bring their products to the market.
