Alpenbouquet

A small bouquet of flowers, a bouquet for the lapel - called "Tuff" in the men's breviary from 1913: "In the afternoon with tea, a Tuff violet looks very distinctive in the cut away - five to six stems." Depending on the purpose, the fashions vary: meadow flowers at a picnic, alpine in the mountains and so on. There are no sartorial limits to the imaginative application.

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.
