Design & Inspiration:

'Millefiori' is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square with hand-sewn hem, Made in England. It is a fresh take on classic archive designs.

The design is composed of a red background with a paisley border and a central panel with a repeat pattern of small 'flowers' in blue, green & off-white. The name 'Millefiori' is taken from the Italian words for 'thousand' and 'flowers' and was chosen as the repeat design in the pocket square's central panel brings to mind the technique of the same name that produces small flower-like decoration on glassware.

Quality:

In Macclesfield, the traditional home of English silk printing, the artwork is reproduced with great care. This enables a good balance of design colour & clarity between the printed and reverse sides of the fine 16oz Mulberry silk twill, ensuring the pocket square looks perfect whichever fold is used. The pocket square is finished with a skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in green. The overall quality of this pocket square from the UK's leading maker is what you would normally expect to find only on London's Savile Row or Jermyn Street.

Gift Presentation:

'Millefiori' is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the stylish silk pocket square comes tissue-wrapped.

Material Composition & Care

High-quality 100% Mulberry silk woven into 16oz silk twill gives the characteristic sheen and cool touch as well as ensuring the pocket square sits nicely in the top pocket.

Silk should always be dry cleaned. Avoid pressing the hand-finished hem to preserve its distinctive 'shoestring' shape.
