Our new friend Brenda has been collecting souvenir and commemorative handkerchiefs for the past fifty years. She has hankies of Coronations, Jubilees, Liberty prints, Festivals, others bearing in-flight menus, regimental badges, etc. There are now more than 4,000 in her collection, from all over the world. She has been interviewed
on television and radio about them several times and regularly writes articles and give presentations about all things hanky. Brenda spotted our hankies in the Sunday Times Style Magazine a while back and got in touch with us. She said she had several powder puff, rouge and
lipstick design hankies from the 1930’s but that she thought very few unusual hankies were produced these days. If you’re in the area, Brenda will be putting on a large display of her hankies at the South of England Showground, Ardingly this July.
We sent her some of ours for her collection!
