HIKKOMI "The North Wind and the Sun" Handkerchief 41x41cm 50% Cotton 50% Linen Made in Japan Gift

The beloved HIKKOMI series welcomes a new addition inspired by the tale of "The North Wind and the Sun." The handkerchief cleverly depicts the wind blowing by its very folds, while the sun's smile and the North Wind's gusty expression are delicately rendered in embroidery. This unique design playfully imbues the handkerchief itself with movement, rather than simply printing a pattern onto a square fabric. These intricate sewing techniques are a special method made possible only by a handkerchief specialist. Its endearing charm is sure to bring you comfort. The fabric, woven from cotton and linen, offers both the softness of cotton and the natural crispness of linen. The edges of the handkerchief are hand-rolled and stitched. 41x41cm Cotton 50% Linen 50% Made in Japan **CLASSICS the Small Luxury** https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53352022521_400668d37b_h.jpg CLASSICS the Small Luxury is a Japanese specialty store for handkerchiefs.
