I live in Argentina, and would like to know if in USA or other
countries there are women who still like and carry real hankies. I love
these very feminine real hankies, lovely embroidered in one corner,
which I carry most of the time when I go out.
I do use kleenex, but only for blowing my nose, etc. I found the cotton
hankies very romantic, and just love to feel a freshly laundred and
neatly folded and pressed hankie in my hand, with a touch of perfume...
Here in Argentina thay are not so easy to find, and most of them are
not a really good quality. ¿Are there common to find in stores there?
¿Do women purchase and use these hankies?
I am very glad to have found this group.
Regards from Argentina!!
They are not common but can be found in many stores. They are usually
made in other countries..

I buy them for my sons and husband and instruct them to carry
them always. It would be a good trend to revive––especially
if one sneezes into them.

Hello. My name is Susana. Thanks for your reply.
I was looking at some nice vintage hankies in E–bay, and will buy some
of them, but I would prefer really new ones.
I wonder if there are other women who still use these hankies. They
aren't common in Argentina either.

I use hankies alot – have an big collection with tatted edges of ev.
imaginable color done by my mother. She did these back during days of
radio when eyes and hands were free at night to knit, crochet etc.
How many of us were weaned into ironing by having to do the
handkerchiefs and pillow cases? Ugh...
They may be a pain to wash and iron, but somehow, they look a lot
better on some occasions than a wadded up Kleenex. At least, if a
hankie goes go thru the wash in error, there's no big lint cleanup.

I live in the northwest region of the U.S., and I have yet to see
anyone carrying a hankie. I know some brides will carry them on their
wedding day for tradition, but I don't think it's a common practice
anymore. But I agree with one of the members... we should revive it.
I think it's very sophisticated and elegant.

I know it's an old tradition but I don't really get the point of the
hankie. The perfume on it in your bag sounds good – makes the bag smell
good. Blowing ones nose and hanging on to the hankie sounds a little
gross.
I love Sniff tissues. I've bough lots of their cute tissues.

I really regret my English isn't so good... because I couldn't
understand your last messages about English majors, TSMIM, etc. But I
am glad to participate gere in this group and thus learn some more!
I am 29 years old, and really don't feel old fashioned. But I really
love hankies! I consider them not only very feminine and delicate, but
I think they do have something "special". Hankies were very often
related to romantic stories (Shakespeare's Otello?), they are given a
special souvenir, mentioned in literature and songs.Or used in some
folk dances. And there are even some books about hankies (Hanky–panky:
an intimate history of the handkerchief. By Helen Gustaffson).
I prefer those nice and very soft floral embroidered hankies, always
clean, slightly starched, and perhaps with a touch of perfum. I like to
fold and iron them into a triangle, allowing the embroidery to be seen.
Regards from Argentina.

credit cards and is cheap, yet has nice ones? I like ones that have some
decorative qualities to them, but I am not super picky. Just looking for

If you're in Atlanta, Richard's Variety Store in Peachtree Battle
carries hankies, the inexpensive kind that are still cute. White lawn
(I guess it's lawn) edged and embroidered with flowers. The
white–on–white are especially nice.
BTW, Richard's has all kinds of goodies that you might want but don't
know where to buy – those little black photo corners, folded rain hats
that you keep in your purse, clear shower curtains, Little Golden
Books, rubber ducks, those felt cups you put under chair legs to keep
them from marring the floor, foil stars to stick on homework, Snap 'N'
Pops... I think much of their stock is the same as it was when I was
a little girl and went with my grandmom to shop back in the 1960s.

me a tissue that I can throw away and be done with it.
I dunno, maybe women who carry a hankie don't blow their noses on
theirs.
I know it's an old tradition but I don't really get the point of the
hankie. The perfume on it in your bag sounds good – makes the bag smell
good. Blowing ones nose and hanging on to the hankie sounds a little
gross.

I guess they're nice to flutter around in a feminine way and sort of hankie. The perfume on it in your bag sounds good – makes the bag smell
good. Blowing ones nose and hanging on to the hankie sounds a little
gross.
melanie
fan yourself, but I'm with you, Melanie. Once I blow my nose, I don't
want to be carrying a snotty cloth in my bag or pocket. Eeeeew. Give
me a tissue that I can throw away and be done with it.

I don't use them for blowing my nose, however. That's what the little

hello
further to this, I think this question boils down to a couple of things,
firstly upbringing. I was always taught to carrry and use a real
handkerchief. i knew no other alternative.
others i guess have been brought up using kleenex and dont even know that
handkerchiefs exsist?
just this week in one of the uk's leading newspapers has an article by a
member of parliment.(anne widdicome )
wrote that she went shopping to purchase some 'propper' handkerchiefs in
london and just could not find a shop that sold them!!
a real handkerchief 'looks' so much better than a god forbid crumpled paper
tissue!
a tissue may have its use in a heavy cold, use once then throw away!
but people dont!
god forbid i've seen ,know people that use same tissue for days on end!!
shredded,torn,cost almost nothing,
yet they think using a proper cotton hankie is un hygienic!
a cottton hankie is not only hygienic its also better for the environment,
just throw them in the wash then re use them
how many trees get cut down for kleenex?
how many real hankies are seen discharded in the street as garbage?
yes this question reminds me of this age of throw away,cant be bothered..
a telivision program on food. a femail stated that she couldnt be bothered,
ney did not know how to cook a single meal...because...
you can buy ready made frozen ones.....

I live in Argentina, and would like to know if in USA or other

these very feminine real hankies, lovely embroidered in one corner,
which I carry most of the time when I go out.
I do use kleenex, but only for blowing my nose, etc. I found the cotton
hankies very romantic, and just love to feel a freshly laundred and
neatly folded and pressed hankie in my hand, with a touch of perfume...
Here in Argentina thay are not so easy to find, and most of them are
not a really good quality. ¿Are there common to find in stores there?
¿Do women purchase and use these hankies?
I am very glad to have found this group.

I think hankies are charming. Bought some beautiful white cambric ones,
embroidered with white roses for my MIL's Christmas stocking.
As for nose blowing –– – I\m definitely a disposable tissue fan, but hankies
look so much more chic for everything else.

hi may be old thread but here's my opinion
i carry and use cotton hankies
i despise paper tissues!
dont ask me why.. i cant answer it
my parents and their parents etc used real hankies never had a box or packet
of tissues in the house.
am i strange?
i just dont understand why people think using a cotton hankie is unhygenic
yet carry and re–use a paper tissue time after time and think thats ok!!
is it the fact that you have to wash and iron the cotton hankie? and that
takes time and effort? does that make it un hygenic?
is the re used tissue more hygenic because eventually you throw it away?
even though you have used it more than it was designed for? ie use once then
despose it?
mmm
just a thought.
