It’s time to start putting new items in my shop, and I couldn’t be more excited to (finally) catch up from the September – December madness that was
Teaching-Full-Time-And-Evening-Classes.
I’ve got two new pocket squares for your approval, in my shop right now.
The first one is a striped square in aquamarine and lucite green. I only have 2 in stock, and these do sell out.
$14.95.
The second new item is the pocket square in marsala/tangerine stripes. I have 3 in stock.
$14.95
What’s so special about a rolled hem? The stitching is practically invisible.
On the front side, the occasional stitch grabs only about 3-4 threads, meaning the stitch is so tiny you might not even notice it.
On the back side, as pictured above, the stitches are hidden inside the rolled tube of the hem.
You won’t find this kind of stitching from a store-bought, even high-end pocket square. Why not? Most squares sold in stores are machine-stitched, because the stitching takes time and intense concentration. Each square takes me a solid hour.
Which means when you buy J. Crew’s $75 pocket square, you’re mostly paying for the brand name.
If you want a designer pocket square, made with fine hand–stitching, for an outrageously low price (for now!), get yourself or your man a Valentine’s Day gift that says
“Darling, I love you. I also love quality.”
Oh, and one more thing. Not sure how to style–or even what to do–with the CUP & PENNY pocket square?
