I have a real thing for vintage hankies, they are soft, beautiful and full of well worn wisdom and comfort. Most of the hankies I use every day spent their days in the pockets and hands of women during WWII. I feel awe at the way they have survived for over 60 years in and out of the washer. New Hankies are wonderful too, I feel like I am breaking them in for the next generation! Handkerchiefs are a lovely and relatively dust-free way to help save the world’s old growth forests. Do an ancient tree a favor and buy a Hankie or two dozen!
