Introducing the Blue Fresh Water pocket square, a unique accessory that celebrates the vibrant culture and rich history of Naples. Inspired by a 13th-century print depicting one of the city’s oldest professions, the water carrier, this pocket square embodies the lively spirit of Naples where color, music, and vitality reign supreme.

Crafted from 100% silk twill, this pocket square features a captivating blue hue that evokes the essence of fresh water, reflecting the artistry of its inspiration. The hand-edged finish adds an exquisite touch, ensuring that each piece is not only visually stunning but also of the highest quality.

The design pays homage to the traditional water carriers who roamed the streets of Naples, selling various types of water stored in terracotta amphorae called "mummare." These carriers became a part of the city’s entertainment fabric, with their melodic calls inviting women to lower their baskets from windows, exchanging coins for flasks filled with refreshing water.

Today, this tradition continues in Naples, with the last of the fresh water sellers found in Via Chiaia, across from Palazzo Cellamare. The Blue Fresh Water pocket square serves as a modern tribute to this enduring profession, blending history with contemporary elegance.

Perfect for both casual outings and formal events, this pocket square is a versatile addition to any wardrobe, making it an ideal gift for those who appreciate unique craftsmanship and cultural significance. Elevate your accessory collection with this enchanting piece that tells a story as rich as Naples itself.
