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.

The Types Of Handkerchiefs That We Carry

• 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.

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.
