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.

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.

If you are looking for beautiful heirloom hankies, Bumblebee Linens is just the right place to find them. I've purchased over 150 times from Bumblebee Linens, and I open each package knowing I'm going to find something gorgeous. Their products are high-end, top quality. Their service is exceptional! I continue to be a very satisfied customer since 2011.
