Crinoline Lady Ladies Handkerchief

There was a time when a handkerchief was as essential as the clothes on your back. Delicate, personal, and utterly practical, it was the one small thing a woman always had close at hand. A teary eye, a sudden sneeze, a warm day that got the better of you. The handkerchief was simply there, and it was always beautiful.

She stands before the mirror, one hand holding out the full skirt of her crinoline gown, perfectly at ease in all that glorious excess. The Crinoline Lady is unapologetically romantic, a love letter to an era of extraordinary dressmaking and the women who wore it so well. Printed on fine Pima cotton lawn in Melbourne and handmade in the Dandenong Ranges. 23cm x 24cm. The kind of thing you keep and use with a little pleasure every time. Ethical Clothing Australia accredited.
