$ 14.50
A lovely selection from Betty Lou's estate ... Mid-Century Vintage
Hand-Embroidered Hankies for your collection, for gifts or for creative uses! (Search online for "repurpose vintage handkerchiefs" for imaginative ideas!)I like to think these were received at a Handkerchief Shower, a charming, themed bridal shower popular in the early to mid-20th century, particularly from the 1910s through the 1950s–1960s. The 1930s–1950s was the height of vintage linen and domestic gift-giving. Guests would "shower" the bride-to-be with practical, pretty handkerchiefs—often embroidered, lace-trimmed, monogrammed, or delicately printed—as gifts to help stock her new household trousseau. These weren't everyday tissues; they were elegant linen or cotton accessories for carrying in purses, dabbing tears at the wedding, or using as lady-like essentials. Friends and family gathered to celebrate the bride, play games, serve tea sandwiches and cake, and present gifts. Handkerchiefs were easy to wrap, affordable yet sentimental, and perfectly aligned with the era's emphasis on feminine refinement and homemaking.Choose your favorite designs from these six, all sold individually.
