Refined Style with a Luxury Handkerchief in the UK
Stylishly Sustainable Handkerchiefs: The Superior Alternative
Owning a handkerchief is both economical and stylish; stuffing your bag with single-use tissues simply isn’t practical or pretty. Handkerchiefs are a fundamental addition to any person practising conscious living and is a sustainable reusable alternative. As many continue to search for ways to live a zero-waste lifestyle, accessories such as handkerchiefs are often overlooked. However, handkerchiefs are fashionable, hygienic, and an eco-friendly choice for your facial needs. They can also be used for blotting and wiping up spills in a pinch. Quality also plays a huge factor, as single-use tissues tend to tear easily which can be a nuisance.
How to Fold Your Handkerchief for a Pocketful of Elegance
Handkerchiefs are a classic accessory and statement piece to add to your outfit for a touch of glamour.
Whether tucked neatly in your purse or showcased in your suit pocket, a handkerchief is the perfect way to display formality and elegance. Tailored to perfection, our luxury handkerchiefs are crafted to be captivating yet practical, to serve everyday needs, start conversations and exude style.
Historically, handkerchiefs have been most regarded as the hallmark of a true gentleman’s suit. When it comes to handkerchief folds, the possibilities are endless. Handkerchiefs may be folded in a variety of shapes, ranging from the One, Two, Three- and Four-Point Fold, the Puff Fold, the Dunaway Fold and so on. Perhaps the most popular fold style for a timeless pocket square, however, is the Square Fold, often known as the Presidential Fold. To achieve this fold, follow the subsequent steps:
- Lay the handkerchief open on a surface.
- Fold the handkerchief in half, ensuring the top and bottom corners meet.
- Rotate the handkerchief and fold it a second time to form a neat square.
- Fold the handkerchief one last time, forming a small, tidy rectangle and tuck it into your suit pocket.
Styling tip: Choose your folding method depending on the formality of the event. Some pocket square folds are more casual or speak to a different style, so choose accordingly. The Presidential Fold is a universal fold that can suit any style or event.
Care Tips to Keep Your Handkerchief in Perfect Condition
Caring for your handkerchief is very low maintenance. Simply avoid excessive heat when washing, preferably on a cool, gentle spin cycle. Alternatively, handwashing is another sure way of protecting the material.
Avoid over-drying your handkerchief. Beginning with a low heat tumble dry or hang drying it will produce a drastically smoother appearance and reduce chances of wrinkling.
For a pristine finish, a quick steam or ironing will work wonders. Ensure that the material is slightly damp before ironing for best results.
No harsh fabric softeners are needed to keep your handkerchief impeccably soft. That’s the natural beauty of cotton and linen; a simple laundering will leave it velvety to the touch.
