‘Portrait of Wojciech Korfanty’ Stanisław Lentz Pocket Square

To celebrate Polish National Independence Day (November 11th), we’ve released a pocket square with a subtle patriotic accent, featuring a portrait of Wojciech Korfanty - a figure of great importance to Poland, especially to our native Silesia.

Artwork: Portrait of Wojciech Korfanty, 1919

Korfanty is best known for his work in the years leading up to Poland's independence, particularly as a leader of the Polish national revival in Upper Silesia. However, few remember that, beyond his contributions to "Polish Silesia," Korfanty was a champion for the working class in Silesia and an advocate for morality in politics - a now-rare stance that marked his role as a leading representative of the pre-war Christian Democrats.

This design is printed on a light cotton/cashmere/modal blend. As with all our pocket squares, the edges are hand-rolled by our skilled craftswomen here in Katowice.
