New Launch at Ginza Mitsukoshi: CLASSICS the Small Luxury Handkerchiefs #Japan #Tokyo #luxury #CLASSICS #Handkerchiefs
A photo of my drying rack with newly cleaned vintage linens and lace hanging to dry. Visible are a lappet collar (a lace collar with long front hanging ends) and a fichu (a detached collar worn with day dresses in the 1860s). The series about Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman) has a lot of random collar things going on; they purpose-made collars. Just saying.
A photograph of a white plastic washing tub with brown water and bubbles. I was using Oxyclean Max today, because I ran out of Retro Clean, and it did okay, but not quite as well. Old things turn brown because the wheat starch used in ironing goes brown over time, and also they get dirty. Always clean your linens! Don’t wash silk! :)
A photograph of souvenir hankies on a red throw. Most of them are silk (I don’t wash them; silk degrades in water), with one cotton one on the left. Clockwise, upper left: A white cotton handkerchief from Bermuda, a pink silk handkerchief embroidered with the U.S. eagle and “Mother U.S.A” (1941-45), a red silk, embroidered in white thread with the same words and motif (1941-45), a large white silk handkerchief with a purple silk border with “Camp Forrest CA.” and a castle symbol machine embroidered in red silk, a white silk handkerchief with the British and the then Canadian flag with poles crossed, and “Canada” hand-embroidered on it in pink, white, and pale blue (probably once red; circa 1900-ish), a fraying taupe silk handkerchief with flowers and “Joy to meet you again” hand-painted on it, and two off-white silk souvenirs handkerchiefs with matching styles, one marked “Plymouth, Mass.”, the other “Miami Fla.”.
A photo of three red men’s handkerchiefs on a red throw. Clockwise, from top right: A green cotton handkerchief with black monkeys and a palm tree printed all over it, signed by “Don” (1960s), a green and white cotton handkerchief with leaf designs, signed by Duaine Mark, with a small adhesive paper label in the corner (1960s), and a hand made white cotton handkerchief with a wide blue border with appliquéd dice (1950s?).

It doesn’t feel very artistic, but I have a pile of snowy white lace and linens, & I’m 1/2 done! I cleaned my great-grandmother’s fichu, & some hankies, and cocktail napkins. The water! 😱😂
& I have some cool hankies! 😁💜💜💜💜

Two handstitched off-white linen handkerchiefs with decorative edging. On one the edging is done in pink and brown and on the other in red and brown. They are placed on brown and white sheepskin.
I made these handkerchiefs over the past 2 days. If these do not sell over the next week, they will be appearing in my shop.

Vintage hankie folded into a butterfly.
Does anyone collect pretty vintage hankies?
Folding them into a butterfly, is one way to feature them in a quilt.
