Regular readers will know that I have an imaginary dog, called Gervaise. Nothing odd about that. He’s accompanied me on many adventures over the last 40 years, sat on the back of our scooter. He’s occasionally been distracted by FiFi, his on/off Poodle girlfriend but he’s always been there when I need him. This whimsical design shows him with his signature bow tie in all manner of poses. It’s the perfect finishing flourish in your jacket top pocket. It’s part of a small collection of accessories produced to commemorate 40 years.  Made in Italy from 100% silk with a hand rolled edge.
