Spring in your buttonhole

The genus Freesia belongs to the tribe Croceae in the subfamily of the Crocoideae within the family of the Iridaceae. This is completely insignificant for your buttonhole, because the beautiful buttonhole flower speaks for itself. A subtle spring greeting - also for the groom at the wedding

Making the boutonnière

In every blossom there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (not to be compared with products from the Far East). Plastic is not used; each flower is built up properly and not simply pinned together or glued on. Recipes that are up to a hundred years old are still used today as the basis for fabric dyeing.

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.
