Atishoo or two!

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!

Helpful Hankies hit John Lewis!

John Lewis is stocking two styles of Helpful Hankies, "Thinking of you sweetie" and "Fix your mascara, you're amazing!" B and I went tonight to have a look. They can be found in Fashion Accessories near a few other hankies and clutch bags and also on the tills in that area. We really hope they are a hit! They are trialling them in Oxford Circus, Peter Jones Sloane Square, Edinburgh, Bluewater and Cheadle! Get down to John Lewis and buy one for yourself!

Love Tara

All hands on deck!

This is my lovely boyfriend Andy helping me stick 500 barcodes to our recent John Lewis order! John Lewis are trialing two of our designs in 4 shops! London ladies you can get yours in Oxford Circus and Peter Jones Sloane Square. We will keep you updated! We are hoping to get an even bigger order if they are successful (we might have to get a few more barcode sticking helpers though! haha)

Love Tara

It's not goodbye, it's just au revoir

My lovely friend Camilla is going off to explore South America and Australia. I will miss her very much (not least because she would have been a great Moi Self model!) but I know she will have the time of her life. We met up for cocktails in the Keston Lodge, Angel on Saturday and sobbed over drinks that were far, far too strong. She loved her Helpful Hanky!

We'll miss you girl!
