Pure silk chiffon cocktail handkerchiefs. c.1920s.


1920's pure silk chiffon hankies are getting so rare now. As the silk was printed just for a handkerchief the design is complete. This is why designers of today like these as they do not have any copyright on them I am told.
Tomorrow I will be listing 5 silk chiffon hankies and one silk hankie.


Just look how wonderful the silk chiffon hankies look when made into a curtain.
