Likes: I really love the little embroideries
Improvements: I’d love to see more embroidery design options in the future
Beautiful!

The little embroidery really is something special. I like it a lot, it gives the the whole hanky that touch of color and playfulness. Really cute.

Got all 6! Suflower and earth are my favs

I got all six of them and I have a hard time deciding which embroidery I like the most (probably Sunflower and Earth). I'm particularly impressed by the sunsfower embroidery quality. The hanky fabric itself is nice and soft, just as I know them from home. Great to see Korean hanky culture in the US.

Embroidery is such great quality

I love my sunflower hanky, the embroidery is such high quality, it makes me happy everytime I use it. The yellow brand embroidery adds a beautiful touch of color as well.

Awesome Hanky! Love the quality and design!

Love that it is true organic cotton! The quality is what I've been looking for and the design is subtle and classy. Highly recommend!

Charming handkerchief makes a lovely gift

Was looking for something soft and higher quality as a gift for my husband, but wanted to try one out first! This was a great option. Soft to the touch, nicely finished sides, and attractive fabric. Still trying it out with handwashing during travels and stain durability, but thus far not too bad.

A nice little gift...are people using hankies again??

This would make a nice little gift or stocking item for that friend or grandparent that values reusable items. The $15ish price point seems fine for the quality of it and it feels nice on your skin. I didn't know hankies had become a thing again, tbh (I think the last time I remember someone under 70 using one was maybe 1987?) but I can see how they would have appeal in our culture that increasingly values reusable, less wasteful items. I'm on board!

A terrific little product with more than one purpose

This silky, soft, light ivory handkerchief was the perfect stocking stuffer for my discerning and eco-conscious friends! Makes a great, simple gift — both pragmatic and ‘purposeful.’

Very nice

It's a nice handkerchief, the embroidery is a nice plus. Maybe not something I'd ordinarily buy for myself, but the plant-a-tree is a great add-on.

More then expected

Well I wasn’t totally sure what to expect with this. I figured it at least is going to be better than using a bandana.But this is so extra stylish, extra soft and a bit elegant perhaps?It is a super nice texture and does not attract attention. You’ll probably get asked about it.I’m so excited to find this hanky community.This may be something I start giving as small gestures.

I put this hanky through its paces this week and it held up!

I had a pretty terrible week and lots of opportunity to try this hanky out. It caught buckets of tears and snot, rinsed and hand-washed easily, and dried quickly. Despite the frequent use, it didn't make my nose or eyes raw. The little tree is really cute too!

Cute!

I ordered this for my husband as a stocking stuffer because he likes to use hankies as pocket squares. I got the one with the tree embroidery on it, and it's really cute! It came packaged in a nice little box and it has a message about how it plants a tree on it. The tree is really cute and the embroidery is done well, without any loose stitches. If you have someone in your life that will appreciate an old-timey gift like a handkerchief, then I would recommend these!

Lovely

Yes, this hanky is slightly pricey, but the material is thick and very soft, plus it's organic cotton. The embroidery looks special and this washes well. My husband typically uses the thin, multipack ones, but this is his favorite. I love that it's eco friendly, and sustainably made. It's definitely a luxury item.

You're buying a lot more than a hanky for your $15

I think people who look at the $15 price point and think to themselves, "I can get 12 mass produced handkerchiefs for $10" are kind of missing the point.First of all, this handkerchief is fantastic quality-wise. It's made in South Korea, so you can be sure everything from the sourcing of the cotton to the working conditions of the craftspeople to the impact of their manufacturing on their environment are top notch. The cotton, in fact, is GOTS certified; this means that they don't just say "organic" (which anyone can claim), they've got certification to back them up.The dobby weave reminded me of my dad's old handkerchief years and years ago—it's just the right amount of thinness and softness (without being too thin or soft).Like many of our fathers and grandfathers, my dad grew up in a time when everyone knew instinctively not to waste. How different it is today, when we routinely use and throw away paper, tissues, paper towels, cotton towels, and every other paper product without even thinking, assuming that once the trash man takes it away then "poof", it vanishes (spoiler alert: it doesn't). Worse, we're now doing the same thing with plastic; from microfiber "cloth" to Swiffer dusters. And those REALLY don't vanish.I love the message that Hanky Gang is sending in their quest to "bring back the hanky". Sorry, I don't see it as a "marketing gimmick" but as a way to use commerce to remind us all that we've gone a little too far in our wasteful consumerism and really need to dial it back with something as simple as using a handkerchief if you need to wipe your brow, or wipe your mouth, or dab a runny nose just like previous generations did not too long ago. At 13.8" x 13.8" , it's plenty big to use for all kinds of things before you wash it.$15 spent on a high-quality cotton hanky supporting South Korean craftspeople + supporting multiple charities + supporting entrepreneurs in the USA is far superior IMO than spending it on a crate of Kleenex from the local warehouse store or continuing to buy and toss cheap junk. These folks created a great product and concept, and I hope they do great with it.

A very nice, solidly woven handkerchief

I bought this more for the novelty factor of something made in Korea. As a handkerchief, it's very good and might be a little expensive, even if it's 100% organic cotton. The weaving is very thick, though, nothing like the typical handkerchiefs you buy in big box stores.The color is not quite beige, I'd say a little darker than eggshell. I'd love to see the manufacturer make this in bright white so that it could be used for a suit jacket pocket.

Absolutely adorable handkerchiefs

Got these for my wife and she *loves* them.The material is soft and high quality. Stitching is perfectly done, not a single loose thread. Color is a beautiful soft cream cotton color with vibrant red for the Embroidered section we got.Love these.

Beautiful quality.

This hanky is pure luxury. The strong, soft fabric it's constructed from is noticeable right out of the box, and though a little pricey, the quality is amazing. If you are looking for a special gift for someone who prefers the real deal to a cheap, mostly useless tissue throwaway, you cannot go wrong with this handkerchief! Oh, and they plant a tree each time one is purchased.Recommended luxury.

Nice cloth, well made, good cause

Always looking for handkerchiefs, bandanas, or cloths for everyday carry. Don't necessarily need to use, but somewhere there is always a towel missing, something you want to grab with a glove, or just the safety blanket of having a cloth in your pocket.These are bit on the expensive side, but the cloth is very nice, well made. Comes with several embroideries, I chose one that fits well with the work I do. Very nice. In turn, somewhere in the price comes the clause and a good cause...each purchase plants a tree. I like this.Nice cloth, price is worth the cause, highly recommend.

So cute & soft 🌲

The handkerchief is back in fashion, more sustainable and soft than ever before ♥️ the embroidery is super cute (I got the tree one) and the material is amazingly soft and high quality. No unfinished threading sticking out. Can’t wait to use my hanky in public!

So soft and high quality

I like carrying hanky with me to be eco-friendly and to wipe my hands off after washing hands in public bathrooms. This organic cotton hanky is so soft and of high quality! Emoji embroidery is very cute, I love the look and feel of the weave a lot. I’ll be carrying this hanky with me!

Very cute design and nice fabric quality!!

I love that when I buy this hanky, it plants one tree. I think it's a lovely idea that using a hanky instead of a paper tissue eventually plants a tree. Also I like that this handkerchief looks so much more playful and cute. Other hankies, I usually find them too old style, make me look like old grandma. But this one has simple design with really cute emoji, it doesn't have that grandma vibe at all. The fabric is very soft and the embroidery quality is top notch.

Eco-Friendly and Adorable handkerchief

I’m so happy with my Hanky Gang handkerchief! The cotton is super soft, the size is perfect for daily use, and the embroidered emoji (I got the rainbow) is so cute. The packaging was absolutely adorable, and the unboxing experience felt so special—it’s clear a lot of thought went into every detail. I also love that every hanky plants a tree—such a great idea! The quality is amazing, and it feels good to use something eco-friendly and well-made. Highly recommend! 🌳

Premium Hanky

I’m so glad to have found the Hanky Gang Organic Cotton Handkerchiefs! They’re a fantastic sustainable alternative to tissues and are made from 100% organic cotton. The fabric is incredibly soft and gentle, making them a pleasure to use, even for sensitive skin.Knowing that I’m cutting back on waste and supporting a company that plants a tree for every hanky sold makes this purchase even more rewarding. It feels great to make a small, impactful change for the planet!The handkerchiefs come in cute packaging, which adds an extra special touch. I’m planning to gift them to my friends this Christmas as a practical and eco-friendly present. Highly recommend these for anyone looking to reduce waste without sacrificing comfort!

Soft and easy on the nose

I have allergies so it it's important to have something thats not too abrasive on the nose. This is thin and doesn't take up much space at all. Easy to hand wash. Most importantly it is certified organic.

Quality cotton and cute

These feel very good to the skin. I like the packaging and color of the actual hanky. I chose the tree embroidery which looks really good. It included instructions on how to wash these, which I immediately followed and hand washed/dried. I did deduct one star because some of the sewing has frays on it or loose thread. It's not a big deal but for the price, I did expect a bit more attention to detail and quality

Lovely material and cute embroidery

My dad loves hankies and always uses them rather than regular tissues. This hankies is such nice material and so well woven! It’s really quite lovely for a hankie and also a nice size. The embroidery is cute! The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is that it is quite expensive for ONE hankie. It does have nice packaging and is made in South Korea so maybe that’s why it’s so expensive.
