Pocket Squares<Simonnot Godard Quadrille Pocket Square White

The Quadrille pocket square is a fine cotton square with a contrasting satin thread woven into it in a striking grid pattern. The quadrille is a dance, popular in the late 18th and early 19th Century, consisting of 4 couples dancing in rectangular formation. With its simple yet elegant design, the Quadrille square beautifully evokes this period, when the flamboyant dandyism of the 18th Century transformed into the more masculine style of dressing that continues to this day. 

Simonnot Godard have been making pocket squares and handkerchiefs since 1787, so it is no wonder that they do it better than anyone else. The company is uncompromising in its commitment to materials and process: only the finest cotton and linen is used, designs are chosen from over 200 years of archived patterns and then woven using traditional weaving machines. Each pattern in Simonnot Godard’s cloths is intricately woven into the design, rather than being printed onto the fabric. When the cloth has been woven it is sent to the Voges region, where it is washed and finished in the famously pure mountain water. The final stage involves hand rolling and stitching the fine edges of each piece, a fantastically difficult task that Simonnot Godard do more skilfully than anyone. They are truly the finest cotton and linen pocket squares that money can buy.
