In your own words

Words they’ll keep forever

Here are some messages we’ve already embroidered. Yours can say anything at all: a name, a date, a private joke, a line from the reading.

Write your own

How it works

Three steps to something one of a kind

  1. A vintage floral apron, a lace-edged handkerchief, a printed forget-me-not handkerchief, a hemstitched hand towel and a linen napkin laid out on natural linen

    Choose your linen

    Five hundred styles in stock: handkerchiefs, napkins, towels, aprons, pillowcases.

  2. A plain white lace-edged handkerchief beside a blank sheet of notepaper, a fountain pen and three wooden spools of embroidery thread

    Write your message

    Your words, a monogram, a date, a poem. Whatever you’d want them to read years from now.

  3. A handkerchief being embroidered with the words Friends like you make life beautiful, Love Angela, beside a spool of lilac thread and gold embroidery scissors

    We embroider it for you

    Custom embroidered in our own USA workroom, inspected by hand, and on its way in about three business days.

Why our linens become heirlooms

  • Cotton and linen. Never polyester.

    Natural fibres get softer every time they are washed. Polyester pills, yellows and stays stiff, which is why it never turns into anything anyone keeps.

  • Soft and fine, never scratchy.

    Closely woven cotton and linen that stays delicate in the hand and is still absorbent enough to use at the altar. Cheap imports manage neither.

  • Edges that are worked, not serged.

    Battenburg, crochet and bobbin lace, drawnwork, cutwork, hand-rolled hems. That edge is what makes a piece feel made rather than manufactured.

  • Every piece looked at by hand.

    Nothing leaves our workroom without someone checking the stitching, the edge and the fabric. If we would not keep it ourselves, it does not ship.

How it began

It all started with tears of joy

I knew I’d cry at my own wedding. We couldn’t find a hankie worth keeping, so we designed our own. A million hankies later, we still stitch every one right here.
