Boutonnière - cherry blossom on the lapel

In Japan, the cherry blossom is a symbol of female beauty. The cherry blossom begins in Japan in March and its progression to the northeast is observed in the Japanese weather forecast as the cherry blossom front (sakura zensen). This is important, because when the cherries bloom there is a proper celebration. A cherry blossom worn as a boutonnière is therefore the ideal companion for happy occasions. All year round. 

The white mini buttonhole

In every blossom there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (not in the least comparable to products from Asia). Plastic is not used; each flower is built up individually and not simply plugged together or glued on. This is called "blümeln" - an almost extinct craft. Original recipes up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for fabric coloring.
