Overview:

Design & Inspiration:

‘Six!’ is a unique and high-quality full-size silk pocket square, Made in England. It has been created in collaboration with contemporary Australian artist Helen Cooper, who describes herself as tonal impressionist. Helen likes to work 'alla prima', where wet paint is applied on top of wet paint, and this adds a freshness to the carefully observed colours in her work.

Helen's original artwork was painted in oils on one of her trademark small size canvases and inspired by her passion for cricket. The work captures the power and beauty of a perfectly executed shot over the boundary ropes.

Quality:

In Macclesfield, the traditional home of English silk printing, the artwork is reproduced with great care. This enables an excellent 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 image is framed by the pocket square’s off-white border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn 'shoestring' hem in coral. 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:

‘Six!’ is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, this stylish cricket silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and her vibrant artwork.

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.
