Silk Pocket Squares by Named Artists: 20 Priced (2026)

The best art silk pocket square for most gifts is a 42 cm square with a hand-rolled hem from Rampley & Co, the British maker that also makes the Ashmolean’s and the Soane Museum’s squares. Its Turner and Raphael squares are $140 to $145 (£95), come in a presentation box and have free returns for 90 days. For less, Elizabetta’s Paul Klee square is $90 (£80) for 45 cm of 14 momme silk twill made on Lake Como. The best stocking stuffer is the Neue Galerie’s $42 square by the calligrapher Bernard Maisner, the only one under $50 here whose page states a hand-rolled hem.

We checked 20 silk pocket squares by named artists on their sellers’ own sites on 19 October 2026: museum shops, artist collaborations and artists’ own labels. They cost $28 to $145 (£38 to £95). That’s the same spread as the cheapest silk square at each of eight menswear brands we checked, from $14 at The Tie Bar to $145 at Drake’s, so a named artist doesn’t cost more than a label. What changes with the price is the size and the hem. Six of the 20 are 33 cm (13 in) or smaller. Of the seven under $50 (£45), one page states a hand-rolled hem; above that, 11 of 13 describe a rolled or hand-rolled one.

Under $50, one of seven art pocket squares states a hand-rolled hem. Above it, 11 of 13 describe a rolled one.

The short answer

The Kanso Collective sells Aubrey Kurlansky’s pocket squares, and he is one of its co-founders. We’ve listed him where our price order puts him, and every other price and detail is from the seller’s own site, checked 19 October 2026.

The order is by price, in three bands: under $50 (£45), $50 to $100 (£46 to £80), and over $100 (£80). It isn’t a quality ranking. ”–” in a price column means the seller doesn’t list a price in that currency (or, for Otway & Orford, doesn’t ship to the US just now); ”–” under hem means the page doesn’t describe it. Sizes in inches on a seller’s page are converted by us. Every square is 100% silk on its seller’s page.

What we found

A named artist doesn’t put the price up. On the same day, the cheapest silk square at each of eight menswear brands ran from $14 to $145 on their own sites, and the art squares from $28 to $145. The Met’s Monet square at $28 costs less than Charles Tyrwhitt’s medallion print at $35, and Rampley & Co’s Turner costs the same as a Drake’s print.

Menswear brand	Cheapest silk pocket square	US	UK	Size	Hem stated
The Tie Bar	Solid Twill White	$14	–	30.5 cm	–
Charles Tyrwhitt	Silk Medallion Print	$35	£24.95	32 cm	–

Turnbull & Asser	Royal Blue Piped Silk	$125	–	45 cm	hand-rolled
Drake’s	Brown and Pink Tribal Print	$145	£85	42 cm	–

Size is the first thing to check. The 20 run from 30 cm (12 in) to 45.7 cm (18 in). A 31.8 cm square like the Met’s has 57% of the silk of a 42 cm square. Small squares aren’t wrong: Otway & Orford sells a 33 cm size because it “works perfectly with most fashion-led men’s tailoring, which often has a smaller top pocket.” But a bigger square is easier to puff and stays put: Elizabetta sells 45 cm because “it will not slide down into your pocket.”

The hem tracks the price, not the artist. A hand-rolled edge is rolled and stitched by hand, so it sits round and soft rather than flat. Twelve of the 20 pages describe a rolled hem, and 11 of those 12 cost $50 (£46) or more. The menswear brands follow the same pattern: four of the five squares from $75 up describe a hand-rolled edge (Drake’s page doesn’t), and none of the three under $50 describes the hem.

Stocking stuffers under $50

Seven art squares cost under $50 (£45). A pocket square fits a stocking flat, needs no clothing size and is easy to wear. These are the seven.

1 and 2. The Met Store, Monet and Klee: the cheapest named artists

The Met’s Morning on the Seine square reproduces Monet’s 1897 painting in its collection, and its May Picture square Paul Klee’s of 1925. Each is $28 for a 12½-inch (31.8 cm) square of “100% silk twill”, “Made in the USA”. Neither page describes the hem. Returns run “within 90 days of order shipment”, and the Met delivers only to the US and Canada.

Who it suits: an art lover who’d wear it in a flat, neat fold.

3. Taliesin Preservation, Frank Lloyd Wright: architecture for $28

Taliesin Preservation’s shop, in Spring Green, Wisconsin, sells a Midway Gardens Sprite square in ochre, “translating Wright’s sculptural artistry into a bold pocket square.” It’s $28 for 13 inches (33 cm), “Handmade of 100% printed silk”, “Imported”; the shop’s product data names The Tie Bar as its vendor. The page doesn’t describe the hem, and returns are within 30 days of purchase.

Who it suits: someone who loves 20th-century architecture.

4. Neue Galerie, Bernard Maisner: the best stocking stuffer

The Neue Galerie in New York sells “Ich Liebe Dich”, German for I love you, by the master calligrapher Bernard Maisner as a “Neue Galerie Exclusive”: $42 for 14 inches (35.6 cm) of “100% silk twill with hand-rolled edges”. It’s the only square under $50 here whose page states the hem. The museum ships “to most international destinations” and takes returns within 30 days.

Who it suits: a partner, or anyone who likes lettering.

5. Lost Pattern, Los Amores de Frida: the biggest square under $50

Lost Pattern’s Frida square is “from the exclusive FRIDA X LOST PATTERN collection”, made with the Frida Kahlo family and drawn from her self-portrait. It’s $45 for 40 cm of “100% mulberry silk” in a satin weave, which is shinier than twill. The page doesn’t describe the hem or say where it’s made. Returns are within 14 days of delivery.

Who it suits: a Frida Kahlo fan who likes colour.

6. Rory Hutton, Zeus: from the artist’s own linocuts

Rory Hutton sells his own designs. Zeus is “a rhythmic repeat of classical figures taken from Rory Hutton’s original linocuts”, “originally created in conjunction with the British Museum exhibition Rodin and the Art of Ancient Greece.” It’s £38 for 33 cm of 100% silk, made in Italy. The page doesn’t describe the hem; returns within 30 days.

Who it suits: a UK buyer who’d like an artist’s own label for under £40.

7. National Portrait Gallery, Luke Edward Hall: a gallery commission

The National Portrait Gallery’s NPG Faces square was “designed in collaboration with Luke Edward Hall and the National Portrait Gallery for the exhibition Cecil Beaton’s Fashionable World.” It’s £45 for 38 cm of 100% silk. The page doesn’t describe the hem or where it’s made. Returns run within 30 days of receipt, and the shop says it’s “currently shipping a reduced product selection to the USA”.

Who it suits: someone who follows Luke Edward Hall’s drawings.

$50 to $100

8. NYBG Shop, Kiku: a woodblock print in a keepsake box

The New York Botanical Garden’s Kiku square, made with Lost Pattern, prints chrysanthemums and a grasshopper “sourced from Keika Hasegawa’s rare 1893 collection” at the garden. It’s $58 for 36 cm (14.5 in) of 100% mulberry silk with “hand-rolled and stitched edges”, in “a custom keepsake box printed with a coordinating Kiku print”. US delivery only; 30-day returns.

Who it suits: a gardener or a lover of Japanese prints.

9. Aubrey Kurlansky, Golden Screen Against the Sea: a living artist’s design at $59

Aubrey Kurlansky is a Bangkok artist who spent years designing interiors for luxury hotels in Singapore and Bangkok; The Kanso Collective sells his work. Golden Screen Against the Sea is $59 (£55) for a 42 × 42 cm square of 18 momme silk twill, woven in China. Its page gives the silk’s weight in momme, which only two others here do.

Every design starts as his own artwork, and his signature is printed in the design. Like every piece The Kanso Collective sells, it’s a limited edition, never mass produced: made to order in collaboration with the artist and finished by hand, then delivered in 2 to 3 weeks. Tracked shipping to the US is $30 per order, so it costs less per piece added to a scarf order (two pieces are 10% off). Its page doesn’t describe the hem. Returns: 14 days from delivery. Dry clean only.

Who it suits: someone who’d like a design they won’t see at the next wedding: blue and gold geometry inside an orange border. For Christmas, order by 3 December.

10. Silvio Fiorello, Girl with a Pearl Earring: Vermeer, made in Sicily

Silvio Fiorello’s Vermeer square is from its Mauritshuis collection: “a tribute to Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring”, framed by a motif from Sicilian ceramics. It’s $75 (£65) for 32 cm of 100% silk, handmade in Italy, with “meticulously hand-rolled edges”, in a gift box. Orders ship from Miami; returns within 14 days of delivery.

Who it suits: a Vermeer lover with a slim jacket pocket.

11. John Marshall Williams, Tango: the largest square here

The artist John Marshall Williams, of Georgetown, South Carolina, sells silk pocket squares inspired by his own art. Tango is $75 for an 18-inch (45.7 cm) square of “100% Silk Twill”. His site doesn’t describe the hem, where it’s made, shipping or returns, so ask before ordering.

Who it suits: someone who likes a big, loose puff in the pocket.

12. Alesia C., SUMATRA: a living artist’s own label

Alesia Chaika is a “Chicago-based artist and fashion designer”. Her SUMATRA square, a royal blue and white mandala, is $85 for 12 inches (30 cm) of 100% mulberry silk, “Edge Finish: Hand-rolled”, in a gift envelope. That’s the smallest square here at nearly the top of this band. Returns within 14 days of receiving it, and “we cover the return shipping costs”.

Who it suits: someone who wears a small, neat fold and likes contemporary pattern.

13. Elizabetta, Early Autumn: the best under $100 in the US and UK

Elizabetta chose Klee’s The Harbinger of Autumn, “Painted in 1922”, for a 45 cm square of 14 momme silk twill, “Printed, cut and sewn along the shores of Lake Como”, with hand-rolled hems. It’s $90 in the US and £80 on its UK site, each with a free prepaid return label within 14 days of receipt. It’s one of three squares here whose page gives the silk’s weight in momme.

Who it suits: almost anyone: autumn colours, a classic size, and it ships from inside both countries.

14. Knotting Club, The Magpie: Monet in a gift box

Knotting Club prints Monet’s The Magpie, “Painted in 1868 by Claude Monet in a winter field at Étretat”, on a 41 cm square of “100% mulberry silk” and “16mm silk twill” with “hand-rolled edges”, gift box included. It’s $95. Orders go by DHL from outside the US; returns within 14 days.

Who it suits: a Monet lover who’d like snow rather than water lilies.

15. Otway & Orford, Ride Ahead: Abram Games’s poster, UK only

Otway & Orford made Ride Ahead “in collaboration with the Estate of Abram Games”, from his recruitment poster for the Household Cavalry. It’s £75 for 42 cm of “100% AAA quality Mulberry silk woven into 16oz silk twill”, with a “hand-rolled & hand-sewn ‘shoestring’ hem”, made in England, in a gift box with a card telling the story of the artwork. It ships in the UK only for now: “We have temporarily paused shipping to the USA”. Returns: tell them within 14 days of receipt.

Who it suits: a fan of mid-century British posters.

Over $100

16. Ashmolean Museum, Hiroshige: made by Rampley & Co

The Ashmolean in Oxford sells Hiroshige’s Fukagawa Susaki and Jūmantsubo, from its own collection, “crafted by Rampley & Co.”: £85 for 42 cm of 100% mulberry silk with hand-rolled edges, “designed and printed in England”, in a gift box. It takes returns within 30 days of receipt, and its shop says shipping to the US “is now available”.

Who it suits: a lover of Japanese prints in the UK.

17. Sir John Soane’s Museum, Manocchi fan: a London house museum

The Soane’s fan square was “designed in collaboration with Rampley & Co” from one of Giuseppe Manocchi’s designs in Sir John Soane’s collection: £85 for 42 cm of 100% silk, hand-rolled, “Designed and Printed in Britain”, in a Rampley & Co gift box. Its returns window is the shortest here: you can cancel within 7 days of receiving it.

Who it suits: someone who loves pink and blue and London’s smaller museums.

18 and 19. Rampley & Co, Raphael and Turner: the best overall

Rampley & Co says it has “collaborated with leading galleries including The National Gallery, the British Museum and the V&A”. Its own squares are 42 cm of 100% silk with hand-rolled edges, in “a sleek presentation box”. The School of Athens (Raphael) is $140 (£95), “Designed and Printed in Britain”; The Grand Canal, Venice (Turner) is $145 (£95), “Printed in Macclesfield, England”. Returns are free “within 90 days of receipt”, the longest window here alongside the Met’s, and it ships to the US and the UK.

Who it suits: the best gift for most art lovers in either country, and the safest if you’re unsure of the design.

20. Michael Andrews Bespoke, Daniel Falcón: a tailor’s artist collaboration

The New York tailor Michael Andrews sells Evening at the Palms from “the exclusive collaboration between artist Daniel Falcón and Michael Andrews Bespoke”: $145 for 16 inches (41 cm) of 100% silk, “printed on sumptuous silk in Como, Italy”, “hand-finished with rolled edges”. Returns within 15 days of purchase, unworn. It ships within the continental US.

Who it suits: someone who has suits made and likes a painterly print.

How to choose: size, hem, fabric

• Size. Pocket squares on sale here run from 30 cm (12 in) to 45.7 cm (18 in). Under about 33 cm suits a flat or straight fold in a slim pocket. From 40 cm there’s enough silk for a puff or points that stay up. If you don’t know his jacket, 40 to 42 cm is the middle of what’s sold.
• Hem. “Hand-rolled” on the page means the edge is rolled and stitched by hand. It looks plumper and softer than a machine hem. We’ve counted only what the pages state. Our guide to silk twill, momme and hand-rolled hems shows the difference.
• Fabric. All 20 are 100% silk. Twill (a diagonal weave) holds a fold and a crisp print; satin is shinier and slips more. Three pages give the weight in momme: Elizabetta (14), Knotting Club (“16mm”) and Aubrey Kurlansky (18).
• Delivery and returns. For a gift, these matter as much as the silk. Rampley & Co’s 90 days and the Met’s 90 days from shipment are the longest; the Soane’s 7 days is the shortest. Check whether the seller ships to the country it’s going to.

Common claims about art pocket squares, checked

• Museum prices. You may read that museum pocket squares “usually” cost “$35 – $50”. The Met’s and Taliesin’s are $28, the Neue Galerie’s $42 and the NYBG’s $58.
• A museum partnership we couldn’t find. You may read that Rampley & Co works with the “Metropolitan Museum of Art”. Rampley’s own site names the National Gallery, the British Museum, the V&A and others; the only Met mentions we found say where a painting hangs.
• A square that’s gone. You may read that the Ashmolean sells a Rossetti “Day Dream” square (“£85 listed”). Its page now returns ‘Page not found’, and the shop no longer lists a Day Dream pocket square.
• Prices that don’t match the seller’s site. You may read that The Tie Bar’s silk squares cost “around $20 to $25”; they’re $14 and $18.

What we’d do

For one art lover, in either country: a Rampley & Co square, for the 42 cm size, the hand-rolled hem, the box and the 90-day returns. Under $100: Elizabetta’s Klee. For a stocking: the Neue Galerie’s $42 Maisner square, or the Met’s $28 Monet if he wears a flat fold. And if you’d like a living artist’s design, Aubrey Kurlansky’s 42 cm squares are $59 (£55). For scarves as well as pocket squares, see our silk gifts for art lovers.

FAQ

What size should a silk pocket square be? Between 30 cm (12 in) and 45.7 cm (18 in). The 20 art pocket squares we checked run from 30 cm to 45.7 cm; 40 to 42 cm is the middle and suits a puff or a pointed fold. Squares of 33 cm or less suit a flat fold in a slim pocket.

How much does a good silk pocket square cost? On the makers’ own sites on 19 October 2026, silk pocket squares by named artists cost $28 to $145 (£38 to £95), and the cheapest silk squares at eight menswear brands $14 to $145. Of the art squares, 11 of the 13 priced at $50 (£46) or more describe a rolled or hand-rolled hem; one of the seven under that does.

Should a pocket square be silk? For a printed design, yes: silk holds colour and a fine print, and it puffs softly. Silk twill holds a fold best; silk satin is shinier. Linen and cotton suit a crisp, flat white fold.

Does a silk pocket square need hand-rolled edges? No, but it’s the sign of a better-made square. A hand-rolled edge is round and soft; a machine hem is flat. Twelve of the 20 art squares we checked state a rolled or hand-rolled hem.

Where can I buy a pocket square printed with a famous painting? Museum shops and specialist makers. On 19 October 2026: The Met Store (Monet and Klee, $28), the Ashmolean (Hiroshige, £85), Rampley & Co (Raphael and Turner, $140 to $145, £95), Elizabetta (Klee, $90, £80), Knotting Club (Monet, $95) and Silvio Fiorello (Vermeer, $75, £65).

Is a silk pocket square a good stocking stuffer? Yes: it lies flat, needs no size and suits anyone who wears a jacket. Seven art pocket squares on our list cost under $50 (£45), from $28 at The Met Store; the Neue Galerie’s $42 square is the only one of them whose page states a hand-rolled hem.

Can women wear a silk pocket square? Yes. A pocket square works in the breast pocket of any blazer, and a 42 to 45 cm square has enough silk for a full puff or points.

How do you look after a silk pocket square? Follow the label: the Met, Lost Pattern and Silvio Fiorello say dry clean, and Aubrey Kurlansky’s squares are dry clean only. Store it flat or rolled, away from sunlight.

Can you frame a silk pocket square? Yes, and an art square frames well because it’s a complete picture with a border. See our guide to framing a silk scarf; the same steps work for a pocket square.
