-We ARE Looking for Handkerchief Designs-
A specialty boutique 'CLASSICS the Small Luxury' opened in 2003, dedicated to creating the best handkerchiefs in the world. Our designs are constantly refreshed to match the trend and the natural season in Japan. The finest fabric is selected for comfort to the touch. We also have released collaboration works with many domestic and foreign artists. We believe that a small piece of handkerchief can provide rich emotions and can be enjoyed as fashionable accessories for many occasions.
In 2020, We Hear the Word "new Normal" More Than Ever Before. A New Era and A New Lifestyle Came Before We Know. Now, The World Is Changing Rapidly At A Speed So Much Faster Than IT Has Been. We Want To Propose Handkerchiefs THAT REMAIN AS SOMETHING DOES NOT CHANGE.
There are various uses and scenes for handkerchiefs. Drying washed hands, wiping sweat flowing on the forehead, wiping tears down the cheeks, carrying it around as etiquette. In 18th century Europe, it was used as an art object owned by aristocrats and as a Gift of Love.
Handkerchiefs have always been close to us, whether in special occasions or in a daily life. A fine touch may make you relaxed, a favorite design may cheer you up. It may become a talisman to support your hard work.
A Handkerchief CAN BE A Tool to Switch Your feelings.
