Cloth handkerchiefs

The classic fabric handkerchief in a fine weave and with a satin edge has always been a man's indispensable companion - and also popular as a pocket square. Our handkerchiefs come from the tradition of "Alfred Pilz" from the Bohemian Hohenelbe and Pellens & Loick (PELO) from Berlin-Schoeneberg. Both merged in 1947 in Aalen, Baden-Württemberg, and still produce the finest handkerchiefs, true to the motto "Aalen wipes the nose of the world".

Like in old times

"We remember the time when the lady received a bar of chocolate and the gentleman a box of brandy-filled chocolates as a gift. However, if it was to be something more, one could not overlook the classic of small gestures: the fabric handkerchief."

Tip: Fine linen

The difference between fine linen and "ordinary" linen is literally at hand. It can be seen - and felt. Our linen comes from a weaving mill in the Netherlands as well as from a linen weaving mill in Lithuania.
