Description
The exquisite »1814« Pocket Square is a stylish tribute to the distinguished heritage of the House of Purdey. Crafted from the finest pure silk and embellished with the original historical James Purdey logo, it blends timeless elegance with British sophistication and a touch of sporting heritage.
It takes its name from the year 1814, when James Purdey founded his own business in London and opened his first shop in Princes Street. Prior to this, Purdey had served as head stockkeeper to Joseph Manton, the most esteemed gunmaker of his time, forging valuable connections within the British aristocracy. By 1826, the company had moved into prestigious premises on Oxford Street, where Purdey established his reputation as a maker of exclusive sporting guns and fine accessories.
The pocket square – also known as a pochette – has a long and storied tradition. Originally carried as a simple handkerchief in the breast pocket, it was elevated to the status of decorative accessory by King Richard II of England, swiftly becoming a discreet emblem of cultivated refinement. During the Biedermeier period around 1830, colourful squares became a feature of refined riding attire, and by 1860 they had become an indispensable detail in the wardrobe of the distinguished gentleman.
Today, this silk square completes any sophisticated ensemble, making a subtle statement of character and discernment. Whether neatly folded, artfully arranged or casually tucked into the pocket, the »1814« Pocket Square lends every appearance a refined note of tradition, understatement and British style.
