In a world of mass-produced fashion, it's the details that make all the difference. This pocket square celebrates the uniqueness of the Nebbiolo grape, the heart of some of Italy's finest wines like Barbaresco, Barolo, and Gattinara. Named from the Latin 'nebbia' meaning fog, Nebbiolo grapes flourish in the foggy hills of Piemonte, Val D'Aosta and Lombardy, where most grapes cannot survive. Columella, the ancient Roman writer on agriculture wrote about the Nebbiolo grape describing it as "Bunches of black grapes that give wine from cold places" Historical records from the 1400s attest to the high quality of this grape and that removing a Nebbiolo vine was punishable by law! Embrace the rich history and refined elegance of Nebbiolo with this distinctive pattern, perfect for those who appreciate life's finer pleasures. Details Large size: Approx. 17.5 x 17.5" (45 x 45cm). 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 from the people who make them directly to you. There are no massive mark-ups and middlemen, which keeps our prices remarkably reasonable. 100% Handmade in Italy: Printed, cut and sewn along the shores of Lake Como.
