It’s no secret within the fashion industry that pocket squares (or handkerchiefs as they were previously know as) have made a comeback!

Take any sportscoat or blazer, add the right designer pocket square, use the right fold, and “voila!” You have transformed what otherwise might have been a good looking outfit, into an exquisite masterpiece. Why any man would spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on suits and shoes and not have a respectable treasure trove of men’s pocket squares which cost roughly $100 – I may never understand.Â

RAMPLEY & CO Ι $90
This beautiful repeat pattern has been inspired by the stunning Palazzo Colonna in Rome, one of the oldest and largest private palaces in the city and one consistently compared in style and artistic brilliance to that of Versailles. This particular pattern takes inspiration from the Hall of the Fountain and the designs and frescoes that adorn the wall and ceilings and we think it works exceptionally well when printed onto our high-quality silk pocket squares.
Works equally well as a subtle addition to a darker suit or worn more flamboyantly.
