The classic: the white pocket square

After looking through the sample books from the 20s and 30s, we decided on a light cotton poplin with only a subtle sheen, which is then rolled for us by hand with a needle and thread.

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 some of the retired employees of our manufacturer to carry out their craft for us. As is so often the case, the beauty lies in the detail.

Handicraft from Hamburg

The Hamburger Kornelia Maria Lempa learned crocheting and embroidery from her grandmother Franziska and later perfected her skills at the British Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace. Discover our exclusive collection of linen.

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.
