Description
‘Blue Bird’ is a unique and high-quality silk pocket square in blue & white with hand-sewn hem, inspired by the perfect day for a sailing regatta.
It has been created in collaboration with contemporary maritime artist Pierre Joubert. He is a man of the French Atlantic coast with a studio in the countryside and Pierre’s work reflects this geographic balance.
The original oil on canvas artwork was inspired by a perfect regatta day with clear blue sky, friendly sea, good breeze and sleek yachts with their seemingly intertwined sails.
In Macclesfield, the 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 AAA quality Mulberry silk twill, ensuring the pocket square looks perfect whichever fold is used. The image is framed by the pocket square’s bluey green border and the skilfully hand-rolled & hand-sewn ‘shoestring’ hem in deep blue. 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.
‘Blue Bird’ is presented in a complimentary Otway & Orford branded gift box with its blueberry-coloured lid and pale blue base. Inside each box, the stylish sailing silk pocket square is tissue-wrapped and accompanied by a card telling the story of the artist and his vibrant artwork. ‘Blue Bird’ makes a great finishing touch at any time of year, including during Cowes Week.
