Art Deco in the buttonhole

This buttonhole was specially designed for British band leader Alex Mendham. When performing in illustrious places, it is worn on tailcoats, which have been specially provided with a buttonhole. We are extremely happy to be able to furnish the entire orchestra, not just a style icon in a vintage tailcoat.

"Herr von Welt are masters of their craft. When it comes to handmade lapel flowers they are without parallel. The very best. Collaborating with them is a dream come true. They really care about attention to detail and have real passion about their tradition." - Alex Mendham

The buttonhole carnation - special features

There is an almost forgotten craftsmanship in every buttonhole (cannot be compared in the least with products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used; every flower is built up properly and not simply plugged together or glued on. Even today, recipes that are up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for fabric coloring.
