The little carnation in the buttonhole

During the French Revolution, a red carnation was a symbol of the nobles who were guillotined. No matter what color: A carnation like this is traditionally worn with a tuxedo or tailcoat and therefore has a black silk stem that, once it peeks cheekily from behind the lapel, remains almost invisible.

Our buttonhole carnation - special features

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.
