The piccolo on the tailcoat

Brand: Herr von Welt
SKU: 069-WRO

This silk carnation goes well with a tuxedo (black tie) or tailcoat (white tie). The medium-sized model was specially designed for British band leader Alex Mendham. When performing in illustrious places, it is worn on tailcoats, which have been specially provided with a buttonhole. Here in the portrait you see Alex Mendham with the medium-sized carnation - but the smaller, more subtle model shown here has also found its fans. Which size do you prefer? We are extremely happy to be able to furnish the entire orchestra, not just a style icon in a vintage tailcoat.

„Herr von Welt are masters of their craft. When it comes to handmade lapel flowers they are without parallel. The very best. Collaborating with them is a dream come true. They really care about attention to detail and have real passion about their tradition. ”- Alex Mendham

The buttonhole carnation

There is almost forgotten craftsmanship in every boutonnière (not to be compared with products from the Far East). Plastic is not used; each flower is carefully assembled and not just plugged or glued together. Even today, recipes that are up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for fabric coloring.
