Description: Handkerchief linens are workhorse fabrics. They don't immediately catch the eye like a bold stripe or floral, yet they are usually the first thing one gravitates toward for an everyday garment in a summer ensemble. We understand how important it is to have breathable frocks in hot weather that have a bit more opacity than gauze and voile. The handkerchief delivers during the hottest summer days. Ideal for base layering frocks, lightweight trousers (with longer jackets and shirts worn over them), and shirts. Content: 100 percent linen. Care: Simply hand wash or put through machine delicate cycle in cold water with a plant based detergent. We suggest using a natural fabric softener to maintain the softness we have washed into it. Tumble dry on extra-low heat with our artisan wool dryer balls just for a few minutes to keep the relaxed effect featured in the Look Book.
