Elevate your daily carry with the beautifully soft Classiky Mitsou Linen Gauze Handkerchief. Crafted in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, this is an exquisite textile blending 70% linen and 30% cotton in a unique, absorbent four-layer (quadruple) gauze weave. The result is a substantial yet surprisingly light fabric that feels gentle against the skin and gains a pleasing softness with every wash.
The standout feature is the charming, one-point embroidered illustration by Japanese artist Mitsou. Her designs are known for their quiet wit and delightful simplicity. Choose from four whimsical motifs:
- Black Cat: A sleek, minimal feline friend.
- Friend: Two sweet girls sketch.
- Coffee: Perfect for the everyday caffeine ritual.
- Bread: A humorous nod to a comforting staple.
At approximately 25 x 25 cm, this handkerchief serves as a refined pocket square, a sustainable alternative to tissues, or a small, elegant wrapper for gifts and bento boxes. It is the perfect blend of Japanese textile craftsmanship and playful artistic expression.
