Blue gentian as a silk boutonnière - two flowers
Gentian enjoyed as a schnapps is a general tonic and has an antiseptic effect. Silk flowers worn in the buttonhole, in this case two of them, show that the wearer has a sophisticated sense of style. Maybe he just likes the color blue or the mountains. Especially nice on a linen jacket in summer!
The blue buttonhole - an old craft
In every flower there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (not to be compared with products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used; every silk flower is built up and not simply put together or glued on. Recipes up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for dyeing the fabric.
