This is a 100% silk twill pocket square in warm gold with a printed purple and gold striped border, hand-rolled hems, and a keepsake gift box — made in Mississippi by Gilberti Silk Arts.
Purple and gold is not a subtle combination. It is one of the most recognizable color pairings in American life — regal, celebratory, and loaded with meaning for a very particular kind of person. On a gold silk field framed by a printed purple and gold striped border, it becomes something that works in the pocket as well as it works in the stands.
The border is a printed design element — purple and gold stripes running the full perimeter of the square, framing the warm gold field with a layered, intentional finish rarely seen outside European luxury menswear. The edges are hand-rolled and hand-sewn in Mississippi, as with every Gilberti square. The result is a pocket square that reads as considered and crafted rather than simply colorful.
Against a charcoal or grey suit it delivers maximum impact. Against navy it creates a rich, jewel-toned contrast. Against black tie it carries the evening with authority. It is a square for the man who wears these colors with pride — and knows how to wear them well.

Q: What size is this pocket square?
A: It measures approximately 12" x 12", which is the standard size for men's suit and blazer breast pockets.
Q: What is the striped border on this pocket square?
A: The striped border is a printed design element — a purple and gold multi-stripe pattern printed along the perimeter of the silk, creating a framed border around the gold field. The edges are hand-rolled and hand-sewn as with all Gilberti squares; the stripe itself is part of the print design rather than a separate construction. The result is a square with visual depth and a finished, framed look when folded in the pocket — a detail more common on European luxury squares than on anything you will find in the standard pocket square market.
Q: How do I fold a pocket square?
A: The three most popular folds for this square are the flat fold (clean and minimal), the one-point fold (classic and sharp), and the puff fold (relaxed and editorial). A full illustrated folding guide is available at gilbertisilkarts.com.
Q: Is this pocket square made from real silk?
A: Yes. It is crafted from 100% silk twill — a mid-weight weave that holds its shape beautifully in the pocket and has a subtle, luxurious sheen.
Q: How do I care for a silk pocket square?
A: Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry. Do not wring or machine wash. Warm iron to de-wrinkle if necessary.
Q: Does it come gift-ready?
A: Yes. Every Gilberti Silk Arts pocket square ships in a keepsake gift box with a ribbon and crown charm — no additional wrapping needed. It is ready to give for birthdays, Father's Day, anniversaries, or any occasion.
Q: What outfits does purple and gold pair well with?
A: Purple and gold is a bold, jewel-toned palette that pairs most naturally with a charcoal or grey suit for maximum contrast, navy for a rich complementary look, or black for formal evening occasions. The gold field keeps the combination warm and wearable rather than cool or stark. It works for fall and winter occasions, formal events, game days, and any occasion where wearing these colors means something.
Q: Who is this for?
A: Anyone for whom purple and gold is more than a color combination — it is an identity. The man who has worn these colors long enough that they feel like home, and who wants to carry that pride into his best-dressed moments. Also for anyone who simply appreciates the way purple and gold work together on silk — one of the most striking color combinations in the menswear palette.
Q: Is this a good groomsmen gift?
A: A natural choice for weddings where the color story runs toward purple, gold, or both — and a meaningful keepsake for a groom's party with deep ties to these colors. For wedding parties, we offer special orders — please reach out directly so we can coordinate. Special orders typically take about 4 weeks for turnaround.
Q: Is this handmade in the United States?
A: Yes. Each pocket square is hand-finished with hand-rolled hems in Mississippi by Gilberti Silk Arts — a small, woman-owned luxury accessories brand rooted in the American South.
