Full effect in the buttonhole
Chrysanthemums have been cultivated in China for 1,600 years and were brought to Europe in the 17th century. In Japan it is the national and imperial seal. In the 1910s and 1920s, the chrysanthemum flower was popular in gentlemen's buttonholes. Here is our version in a delicate green with a slight yellow tint - an excellent alternative to the white flower in tuxedos (black ties) and tailcoats (white ties).

Boxes from Berlin
The boutonnière boxes are made for us by one of the oldest family businesses in Berlin, founded in 1869 as a hat box manufacturer, in the Neukölln district. High-quality fine cardboard boxes with tradition - in the fifth generation.
The archive
Here, carefully preserved for more than a hundred years, are the historical dies that are still used today. Each boutonniere is made by hand. Each boutonnière is unique and should be protected from moisture and rough hands.
Handcraft from Saxony
There is old craftsmanship in every boutonnière - since 1834. Not to be compared with products from the Far East. No plastic. The flower is carefully constructed and not just put together or glued. Old original recipes serve as the basis for silk dyeing.
