Frankfurter Rundschau, March 2023
"We are not an 'elite club' or even 'impressive', but we like to talk about our illustrious clientele. In the picture: Joost Bom from Delft visiting Herr von Welt."
"To our delight, it is stated under the title 'Colorful, always beautiful' in the Frankfurter Rundschau: 'Even today, there still exists the elite club along with its illustrious online shop with the impressive name: "Herr von Welt," whose male members wear the famous carnation in their buttonhole or an edelweiss on their lapel. Of course, not real plants, but those made from the finest fabric.'"
Book Tip: Modern Black Tie
Newly released in December 2022: Modern Black Tie by Mickael Korausch. A comprehensive style guide to evening menswear. Our boutonnieres must of course not be missing.
We are very proud to be featured on several pages with images and text showcasing our silk boutonnières! The fundamental philosophy of the book is to demonstrate that the tuxedo is a constantly evolving phenomenon - without neglecting the traditional principles of dress code. What truly matters is the effort one puts in to dress as one deems necessary for special occasions. The book is available here.
Our boutonnieres in the MDR
Anne Flemming from MDR guesting at Herr von Welt (l.r.n. Ralph Joseph Thenhaus with Cravat, pocket square and vintage pin, Anne Flemming with silk orchid, Andreas Thenhaus with Edelweiß). Our smiles still seem a bit hesitant - but that changed quickly.
"We are very pleased that MDR television will report extensively on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, at 9 PM in the documentary "Saxon Silk Flowers for the Runways of the World." Included are our handcrafted boutonnières and more stories about Herr von Welt: "[...] that the delicate fabric flowers not only delight the ladies, as proven by a Berlin men's outfitter. Andreas Thenhaus sells Saxon buttonhole flowers, known as boutonnières, to his elegant clientele as Herr von Welt."
A Black Tie Affair in Hongkong
In December 2022, our boutonnieres found their way into the buttonholes of illustrious gentlemen in Hong Kong. In the picture on the left, our Edelweiß and on the right, Linus with a silk Klebschwertel.
In collaboration with The Suitstainable Man, we had the opportunity to present our boutonnieres alongside La Bowtique Bowties, Gaziano & Girling, and Tsai by Tsai at Stockton on Wyndham Street, Hong Kong on December 16, 2022.
Merchant Inspiration Award 2022
In the category "One of a Kind Shop" we received it - the Merchant Inspiration Award 2022.
From the reasoning of the jury: "Handpicked products and a lot of love for detail. This shop offers the most unique fashion elements with a touch of the past for the modern man. We find their style and products to be one of a kind!"
Alex Mendham, "Puttin' on the Ritz"
In the picture, Alex Mendham's CD "Puttin' on the Ritz" with a beautiful booklet and our boutonnière Alex Mendham, a custom-made piece.Since 2020, Herr von Welt has been providing the British singer and orchestra leader Alex Mendham and his musicians with boutonnieres: "I am in receipt of two of the most beautiful silk boutonnieres I have ever seen. 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. There's an exquisit limited edition flower tailor made for the orchestra available." The next performance dates can be found here.
My Modern Darcy, Hongkong
In the picture: The highly recommended blog - and our boutonnière Common Chicory.
Under the title "Floral legacy - Boutonnière by Herr von Welt, Berlin," the author of My Modern Darcy writes from faraway Hong Kong in 2019: "Coming across the delicately made boutonnière collection by Berliner mens accessory house, Herr von Welt, which specializes in refined classic mens accessories, I have no idea how profound a story of a boutonnière can be! And how the distinguished and rigorous workmanship it was behind. One of the most unique things about the boutonnière by Herr von Welt is that the ‘flower’ looks extremely real and natural!"
Tweed Magazine, the best online men's outfitters
In the photo, faintly visible: a silk suspender with paisley pattern from our collection.
The Tweed Magazine includes us in its illustrious list of the best online menswear retailers in 2019 and quotes us as follows: "A man of taste should stroll through the shopping streets of Vienna, London's club district West End, and Berlin's magnificent boulevards, inspired by the displays of fascinating shops to make his purchases there." However, it can also be quite practical to buy a garment online.
Lady Blog, the classic lifestyle
Here in the Lady Blog: the elegant lapel flower Orchid from our collection of rather exotic boutonnières.
In February 2019, the Lady Blog calls for a revival of the boutonniere flower: "In the online shop of Herr von Welt, you can now purchase a boutonniere flower collection exclusively made for the Berlin guys Ralph and Andreas. ... In principle, white flowers are suitable for daytime, while evening wear provides the ideal stage for a red variant. Particularly well suited, for example, is the gardenia, by the way a favorite of Cary Grant, or the cornflower as a boutonniere."
The Heritage Post, Magazine for Men's Culture
The Mo von Welt in the year 2018.
In April 2018, The Heritage Post draws our attention, specifically to Ralph's then-impressive mustache. At that time, we were still offering classic shaving and grooming products from London at Herr von Welt and were all the more pleased about this beautiful publication.
The Chap, The Anarcho-Dandyist's Manifesto
"It's been a few years and looking back it may seem a bit disguised - but such a boutonnière in the buttonhole is timeless."
In October 2015, the British Chap Magazine crowned Ralph as King of Chaps. With a boutonnière in the lapel, his likeness unfolds in the center of the magazine.
Maximilian Mogg, Blog
Also clearly visible here: the classic red carnation in the buttonhole. Our carnation boutonnières are available in three sizes - in the picture, it is the large variant for the bold.
Under the title "Boutonnière – The Forgotten Art," Maximilian Mogg writes in 2016: "The boutonnière is very multifaceted, as basically any flower is possible. To obtain more detailed information about its meanings or the shelf life without water supply, consult a good florist or the book "The Boutonniere – Style on One’s Lapel" by Umberto Angeloni. Secondly, you can find a large selection of boutonnières at one of our favorite online shops Herr von Welt."
Berliner Morgenpost
Ralph Thenhaus in Morgenpost Interview
The Berliner Morgenpost interviews Ralph Thenhaus in 2019 under the title "Mirrors and Plenty of Contrasts" about interior design and loft style at Maximilian Mogg, whose Berlin store interiors we have designed.
