The red boutonnière

The red rose is an excellent alternative to the classic red buttonhole to a tuxedo (black tie) or tailcoat (white tie). The silk-wrapped, flexible stem is therefore kept in black. So if he should inadvertently peek out from behind the lapel, that's no break in the legs, but rather testifies to the wearer's style confidence.

Traditional manufacturing 

In every silk blossom there is an almost forgotten craftsmanship (not to be compared with products from Far Eastern countries). Plastic is not used here; Each boutonnière is built up individually and not simply put together or glued on. Recipes up to a hundred years old serve as the basis for dyeing the fabric. Are machines coming, e.g. for punching or embossing, it is a historical device - almost museum-like.
