Group Buy: handmade, hand-painted silk pocket squares from Armenia.

Disclaimer: I am not doing this for profit!

I've ordered a batch of pocket squares from a lady in Armenia who paints each pocket square by hand. She specializes in women's scarves and the like, but she agreed to make some pocket squares just for me to try it out. They had arrived recently and I was very pleased with the results. I sent her some feedback regarding the roll and the paint she used. She will make the new ones with a thicker roll and won't iron the edges (she did on mine unfortunately) as well as use no glitter in the paint. Also, there's an option of using thicker, less transparent silk.

Since this is a custom order, she won't do it unless there are several people ordering. The pricing we agreed upon was between $30-40, depending on the number of pocket squares. (more = cheaper). I, personally, think they are great and would work in casual setting to liven up suits and sport coats. I've taken photos of the squares that I ordered as well as several combinations of possible outfits, just so you guys have an idea what they look like. Also, I'll attach photos of all the pocket squares she can make. Keep in mind that the photos are of scarves that are about 25x25 inches large, so the actual painting will have less elements.

This is a terrific deal for something that is unique and made so well! Let's do this!

The way it works is you reply in this thread or send me a private message with pictures of the pocket squares you want. At the same time you will send me $40 for each pocket square and if we get enough orders and the price goes down I will refund each of you $5 or $10 later. I will forward the link to this thread to the lady that does these, so we're all on the same page. In about a week, I will send her the money and info on which pocket squares she needs to make and in some amount of time (probably a month or so), you should start receiving them in the mail.

My paypal address is bratov@ca.rr.com. Please cover the paypal fees or I will refund the money and cancel your order. This is strict. Also, include your forum name and address so I can get the orders straight.

Feel free to ask any questions here. Oh, and if we don't get enough orders, this will likely not happen at all. In that case, I will refund the money to those who already paid. However, I'm sure there will be plenty of takers as this is an awesome deal.

Shipping is included. Like I said, if we purchase enough, it will only be $30.

Just edited that into the original post.

Shipping is included worldwide.

I think you do.

I'm not sure if I interpreted that correctly. Would you prefer more colors/patterns at the edges or less? I like to have solid color on the outside edge and the pattern in the middle. That way I can use the same PS in many ways and combinations. Kind of like #26 she made for me.
