Boutonnière Camellia White

The white camellia
“The Lady of the Camellias” was the most successful novel by the French author Alexandre Dumas the Elder. J. and Giuseppe Verdi set the drama to music in the opera “La traviata” in 1853. The eponymous lady can only be given camellias; she promises to give up her dissolute life and dies in the end. This is tragic and certainly only one of many possibilities. For the boutonnière on the lapel today this means: sensitivity, romance and a penchant for the elegant lifestyle in Paris around 1848. A good choice for going to the opera. Perfect for tuxedo (black tie) and tailcoat (white tie).
