Mini boutonnière

Mini boutonnière - size is not what counts

The small-format boutonnière is on the one hand the right choice for the novice, the beginner when it comes to buttonholes. The size of the gentleman's splash of color on the lapel is somewhat smaller and much more subtle than that of the larger "colleagues" with two, three flowers or one large one. But even with the small models in our collection, everything is handmade: hand-dyed silk and, above all, the finely and realistically crafted pistils. For the festive occasion with a tuxedo or tailcoat, we always recommend larger, elegant buttonholes. But during the day or for more subtle occasions beyond weddings and state receptions, the mini boutonnières are ideal. The intended effect is the resemblance to a flower that has just been picked spontaneously from the roadside.
