Details & care
This design began with a carved stone detail I found in a book by Émile Prisse d’Avennes, the 19th-century archaeologist who spent years preserving ancient Egyptian art. I am fascinated by carved designs and symmetry, so with the help of Sara in Como, we reworked it for printing on silk. I think of this as a small tribute to craftsmanship that’s lasted centuries.
- Large size: Approx. 17.5 x 17.5". This is the correct size to allow for many folding styles and it will not slide down into your pocket.
- 100% silk twill: A soft, silky fabric traditionally used in men's tailoring. Characterized by a diagonal weave which makes it very durable. We use 14 momme silk, a heavier weight silk than many because it is supple enough to hold its shape no matter how you fold it.
- Hand-rolled hems: For the ultimate in luxury and sophistication, our hems are hand-sewn.
- Limited edition: We make these in small quantities, so you know your pocket square is truly one-of-a-kind.
- Pure luxury, naturally dyed: We use non-toxic vegetable dyes that preserve the silk's softness, free from harmful chemicals that can irritate your skin (and is better for the planet!).
- Affordable luxury: We bring these directly from the people who make them to you. There are no massive markups and middlemen, which keeps our prices remarkably reasonable.
- 100% Handmade in Italy: Printed, cut and sewn along the shores of Lake Como.
