"Oysters and Pearls" - Shuck Cancer x Kilby

$95.00

Oysters—resilient, layered, and distinctly Louisiana—are the centerpiece of this limited-edition silk pocket square, created in partnership with Shuck Cancer. Hand-painted in watercolor and printed on silk in Italy, the design captures the quiet beauty of the oyster, a symbol of both strength and renewal.

Each square is finished with hand-rolled edges and numbered as part of a one-time run.

Wear it in your jacket pocket, tie it as a scarf, or frame it as art—however you use it, this piece carries a story of community, resilience, and giving back.

100% of proceeds benefit the American Cancer Society’s Shuck Cancer initiative, funding patient support and access to care programs across Louisiana.

Shuck Cancer is “a party with a purpose” raising over $3 million since 2018 for the American Cancer Society’s Access to Care Grant Program, helping patients get transportation and lodging for treatment throughout Louisiana. James is participating this year as a 2025 Shucker Honoree.
