Boutonnière - the buttercup on the lapel

The marigold, because that's what our silk boutonnière is all about, has a very practical use and a gentleman should have at least one. It fends off demons from time to time Walpurgis outside the door of the cattle barn, if you have one, she also keeps witches away. Well worth a try! Worn on the lapel as a buttonhole flower - even as a small single flower - it attracts attention and the person who wears it.

The yellow buttonhole

In every flower there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (not in the least comparable to products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used; each flower is built up individually and not simply plugged together or glued on. This is called "blümeln" - an almost extinct craft. Original recipes up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for fabric coloring.
