Boutonnière Ilex 'Bing Crosby' Large (Ilex aquifolium)

Merry Christmas
On the one hand, we were inspired to create this Christmas lapel decoration by nature in the form of the holly tree, which is native to Central Europe and has a Christmas meaning. On the other hand, Bing Crosby shows us on his bestselling Christmas album "Merry Christmas", published in 1945, how you can create a gentlemanly contribution to your Christmas outfit from a little Ilex and red berries. Here is our interpretation as a boutonnière.

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.
