The silk satin cummerbund is handmade in one of Paris's last great bespoke tailoring workshops, where the craftsmanship has been handed down by generations of tailors since the 1950s.
Our black cummerbund is made with high-quality silk satin. An exceptionally high thread density (160 thread count per centimeter) results in an intense black and outstanding, long-lasting quality. The slow weaving process on a 19th century loom keeps the quality of the silk threads intact.
The comfort of the cummerbund has been studied down to the last detail. As per tradition, the three pleats on the cummerbund face upwards. These were used in the 1930s to hold ticket stubs or tokens. In a contemporary take and for extra comfort, we have added two small pockets on the inside of the sash to complement the pleats. The inside is finely lined with cotton and three layers of wool to provide support and maintain shape.
The Cinabre silk satin cummerbund can stretch out to 110 cm (43 inches) around the waist. The wide elasticated bands are extra extendable and the matte black steel fastenings make the cummerbund fit and compliment all body shapes.
The silk satin fabric used for the cummerbunds is the same as we use for our black bow ties.
The classic color can be paired with either a black or white tuxedo jacket. The sash is worn at the natural waist, providing an elegant transition between the pants and shirt.
Cinabre allows you to customize the label on the inside of the cummerbund. According to your preferences, we can add your initials, your name or a date. A timeless fashion accessory such as the cummerbund is for giving, and for passing on to the next generations.
