Pocket Square Cotton Lilac

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.

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.
