The handkerchief importer and manufacturer Blooming Nakanishi has been around for 140 years. These handkerchiefs feature the same images used in the techo cover we made this year, choosing charming images from their World Nations collection, which contains over 3,000 designs.

This handkerchief is based on a souvenir handkerchief featuring the state of Alaska, paired with a pattern from a different handkerchief on the border. The blue hue of the center is accented with a sprinkling of purple and yellow on the outer edges.

The Petit Fleur design depicts a vast green field dotted with blooming yellow flowers. The main pattern is delightfully accented on the border by another vintage handkerchief design featuring a slightly different yellow flower pattern.



The 100% cotton fabric is comfortable to the touch and soaks up any moisture.
There’s something about a crisply ironed handkerchief that makes you stand up straight, even more so when its pattern suits your taste.
