This white linen pocket square is embroidered with either Mother or Father of the Bride or Groom and a small heart, a perfect handkerchief for a parent on your wedding day. Let us know in the box at checkout what color you'd like the little heart to be. Have a mind for somebody else? Send us a message and we'll make a custom listing just for you.

This handkerchief is made from 100% Irish handkerchief linen, for a crisp, cool texture that will only get better with use. Linen is stronger, absorbs more water, can withstand higher heat, and lasts longer than cotton, and the Irish weave the finest linen in the world. These hankerchiefs are hand-cut to a generous 13 inches and hemmed with a narrow rolled hem, for a personal touch that extends to the smallest details.

The embroidery, done in any color or shade you choose, consists of stem stitch artfully tapered to enhance the shape of each letter for a distinguished look. Each is embroidered completely by hand - not machine - and, although it takes more skill and more time, the results are worth it.

Please - I love to have a personal relationship with each of my customers. Message me with any custom requests, specific color shades, or any other questions you have! We proudly stock the entire DMC line of embroidery thread (453 shades!) and will happily provide a color card upon request.

Care information

Linen handkerchiefs may be washed via delicate cycle in a washing machine (no bleach) or for best results, by hand. Iron hot, with steam, on the backside of the work. Any stitches pushed out of place from the iron can gently be prodded back into place. A cotton or mesh laundry bag will help protect your piece from getting snagged.

Temari should not be washed, just dusted if necessary. If needed, you can wet a cloth in hot water and wring it out quite well, and use that to spot-wash. Temari are made of fibers all the way through, so a wash or soak would mean that the inside would never dry.

Our embroidered blankets are made with wool, and should be handwashed gently in cool water.

Goldwork embroidery should only be washed by a professional. Other embroidery is best cleaned as for temari (especially framed hoop work) though wearable accessories may be put through the wash on a gentle cycle or hand washed.

The Most Beautiful Handkerchiefs!

I recently purchased several handkerchiefs in oatmeal linen for my wedding and oh my goodness - the quality of the linen and precision of Jackies embroidery is absolutely stunning. I wanted something that felt authentic and elegant, something that my family and friends could keep forever. These are exactly perfect. Thank you, Jackie!
