Bee Embroidered White Cotton Handkerchief Set

Two white cotton handkerchiefs, each embroidered with a bumble bee in black, yellow and white. The stitching is dense enough to read clearly against the plain white ground, with the wings outlined in fine black thread and the body worked in bands of yellow and charcoal.

The motif sits in one corner, so the handkerchief folds away with the bee showing or hidden, whichever you prefer. White cotton takes a press well and handles repeated washing, which is what you want from a handkerchief kept in a jacket pocket rather than a drawer.

• Set of two handkerchiefs
• 100% cotton
• Embroidered bumble bee motif in black, yellow and white
• Presented in a boxed set

A pair like this makes a sound gift for a man who carries a proper handkerchief, and the bee gives it a little character without shouting. Press them flat and keep one for use, one in reserve.
