About Our Handkerchiefs

For many years, hanky products were primarily used for blowing noses and they were tucked away out of sight inside of pockets and purses. But sometime in the sixteenth century, they came out of the pocket and became fashion accessories.

Today, fashion models and designers routinely add laces and scalloped edges to cotton and linen handkerchiefs to wrap around their arms and flaunt them. And as a result, hanky pieces are now a staple in fashion shows around the world.

Aside from being just a fashion accessory, they are also used as special keepsakes for weddings and baptisms. A common tradition is to fold a hankie into a baby bonnet which is then passed down from generation to generation.

In the past, a handkerchief was just a small square of thin fabric designed for personal hygiene but at Bumblebee Linens, we believe that hankie products serve a much larger purpose.

Here are some special occasions where hanky products make perfect gifts!

The Types Of Handkerchiefs That We Carry

Lace Edged Handkerchiefs - All of our laced hankie products are made of 100% cotton or linen. They are handy, soft and durable and make excellent gifts for weddings, baptisms and other special occasions..
Monogrammed Handkerchiefs - Many of our hankie pieces can be monogrammed with 1, 2 or 3 initials and we do custom embroidery for both mens and womens hankies. For men, monogrammed hankie products usually go best with suits or semi-formal wear with cross-weave patterns. For women, floral or text embroidered in one corner of the hankie is a classic form of expression. Both make perfect gifts.
Personalized Handkerchiefs - In addition to monograms, we can also embroider short messages in any thread color or hue of your choice. Sending a personal message via a handkerchief is a unique way to express your affection for a loved one.
Color Embroidery - If you prefer vibrant colors and beautiful embroidered designs, our color embroidered hankie products make perfect gifts. Enjoy browsing our large selection of flower and butterfly designs.
White Embroidery - If you prefer classic white hankies with beautifully stitched designs, our white embroidered hankies are for you.
Print Handkerchiefs - Vintage inspired hankies make excellent accessories for men and women. The hanky products we carry are made of cotton with decorative edges and printed with retro and vintage designs.
Heirloom Handkerchiefs - Imported from Germany, Switzerland and Ireland, our heirloom hanky products are the finest and most intricate hanky products that we carry in our shop. The European laced designs are both beautiful and delicate.
Bridal Sets - Primarily meant for wedding occasions, you can purchase a set of matching hankies for the entire bridal party.

What To Look For In A Handkerchief

A handkerchief is a symbol of elegance and confidence and we've put together a few shopping tips below.

Size - Mens hankies usually measure at least 16 by 16 inches whereas womens' typically vary from 10 x 10 to 15 x 15 inches. However mens pocket squares or suit hanky pieces typically measure 12 x 12.
Design/Type - Our hanky products come in various colors and designs. Always make sure that your hankie best suits the occasion. It may be embroidered, monogrammed, personalized or vintage-inspired.
Material - Make sure to check if the hanky is made of 100% cotton, linen or silk and avoid polyester if possible. Cotton is the most common material used for hanky pieces because it is absorbent and has a soft touch. Linen is also a great hankie material because of its texture, durability and weight.

What People Are Saying About Us

When I got married last spring, I had custom handkerchiefs made for all of the attendees at my bridal shower and it was the perfect bridal shower gift! Bumblebee also made my "something blue," a dress label with my new monogram (in blue!) that was sewn into my wedding dress. I am not the type that wanted to wear a garter belt or blue shoes, so this was a great way to incorporate this tradition while remaining true to my personal style. I will refer Bumblebee Linens to all of my friends!

This company not only has great customer service, but they actually care and have great quality products. I purchased a hankie for my big day, which was beyond beautiful and brought me to tears as it was very special to me to have as I walk down the aisle, since I personalized it with a message to my mom and grandmother, who are no longer with us. I would highly recommend this company to anyone as they are extremely professional, answer emails in a timely fashion and ships quickly.

Nicole G

I knew I wanted to do something special for my sister and soon-to-be mother-in-law so I decided to get them a couple embroidered handerkerchiefs as wedding presents. Not only do I highly recommend the quality product from Bumblebee Linens, but I also highly recommend their customer service. Beautiful, heirloom quality handkerchiefs make thoughtful, personal gifts that you will be proud to give and they won’t break the bank.
