The silk carnation in the buttonhole
This carnation is slightly smaller than our other models and provides an elegant dash of color in the buttonhole. A classic especially with tuxedos and tailcoats. The stem consists of a flexible wire loop that has been carefully wrapped with black silk.
The buttonhole carnation in detail
There is an almost forgotten craftsmanship in every buttonhole (cannot be compared in the least with products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used; every flower is built up properly and not simply plugged together or glued on. Even today, recipes that are up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for fabric coloring.
