Handkerchiefs & Pocket Squares
The first pocket handkerchief in white linen is said to have appeared in ancient Egypt , where it primarily served hygienic purposes .
However, it is to King Richard II of England that the use of the first handkerchiefs and colored silk pouches is attributed, true symbols of distinction.
In the 14th century, the French nobles in turn adopted the scented silk handkerchief, which they held close to their nose to mask unpleasant odors and assert their refinement.
Later, at the court of Louis XVI, the colored suit pouch reached its peak, becoming a discreet yet essential fashion accessory, a sign of taste and elegance.
With the appearance of the two-piece suit, the suit pouch definitively transforms into a decorative ornament, a symbol of the modern gentleman.
Today, it remains a subtle and sophisticated detail, combining History, style, and modernity, which gives each outfit a timeless charm.
