BARABA blue printed silk pocket square

Dimensions: 33x33 cm
Material: 100% printed silk
Color: Blue background with light blue border and large pattern
Season: Spring/Summer
Production: Artisanal, Made in Italy

The deep blue of the background meets a light blue border, framing a large graphic pattern that isn't lost even when the silk is folded. This BARABA pocket square doesn't serve to complete the suit, but to intentionally disrupt it. The 33-centimeter dimensions allow for a puff fold that stays firmly in place, designed for those who know an empty pocket is a wasted opportunity.

Style and Pairing Advice

• Terrace aperitif: Blue on blue always works, but the large pattern breaks the monotony. Inserted as a puff fold, it gives movement without looking calculated.
  Outfit: Unstructured powder blue linen blazer, heavy white cotton t-shirt, sand chinos, suede loafers without socks.
• Informal meeting: A sharp contrast between the raw texture of the jacket and the shine of the printed silk. The three-point fold highlights the light blue border.
  Outfit: Beige cotton seersucker jacket, chambray shirt open at the collar, dark wash denim, dark brown leather loafers.
• Summer wedding: When the suit is rigorous, the breast pocket is the space to breathe. Let it peek out irregularly, ignoring the rules of symmetry.
  Outfit: Light gray cool wool suit, white poplin shirt, dark blue knit tie, black calfskin oxfords.

The tailor's advice: Being pure printed silk with an important pattern and a contrasting border, the puff fold is the most natural choice. Gather the pocket square from the center, let it drop softly into the pocket, and allow the light blue border to peek out asymmetrically.

Product care: Dry clean. Do not iron directly on the silk — use an interposed cotton cloth and keep the iron at a low temperature. Store flat or folded along the natural seams, away from direct light sources.
