Pocket Square Crochet Turquoise

Crocheted around by hand: the white pocket square
In Naples, this elegant classic is crocheted in color for us. Just like in the old pattern books from the family manufactory Calabrese from the twenties, we opted for a somewhat firmer cotton poplin. The pocket square adorns the man's breast pocket and can also be used as a sturdy handkerchief if desired.
Tradition and handicraft from Naples
It is somewhat difficult to find knowledgeable ladies who can or want to do this fine handicraft today. We have succeeded in persuading retired employees of our Neapolitan manufacturer to continue doing their craft for us from home. As is so often the case, the beauty lies in the detail.

Introduced: Calabrese 1924
Discover our Pocket Squares from Naples. Each pocket square (and also our Cravats and Bow Ties) has been sewn in our own workshop since 1924. During our visits on-site, we are always amazed by the meticulous craftsmanship.
Tip: the tie scarf
The cravat scarf is worn casually in the shirt with two buttons open. A comfortable alternative to tie and bow tie, which looks good and adds the necessary splash of color. By the way, it is very pleasant to protect the neck from drafts.
