Vintage Set of 12 Pure Irish Linen Handkerchiefs | White Embroidered Scalloped Edges | Boxed

Description

Elevate your vintage collection or prepare for a classic “something old” wedding accessory with this authentic mid-century boxed set of twelve Pure Irish Linen handkerchiefs. Originating from the 1950s–1960s and originally retailed by the boutique Cary-N Casuals of Palm Springs, California, these hankies feature exquisite white-on-white corner embroidery, delicate scalloped edges, and are crafted from high-quality linen with a fine plain weave. Each piece is cut in a standard vintage square size (approximately 18″ x 18″), making them perfect for formal wear, estate jewelry display, heirloom textile collecting, or premium crafting projects.

This lot remains complete with its original textured cardboard retail box, which bears the “Warranted Pure Linen” seal and includes the retailer’s salmon-toned thank-you insert detailing the Palm Springs boutique history. The handkerchiefs exhibit authentic vintage character: uniform cream toning, light age-related soiling, and minor foxing spots consistent with decades of storage. There are no major tears, holes, or structural damage; the textiles are sturdy and displayable. Please review all photos for close-up details of individual condition and embroidery work.

Ideal for collectors seeking authenticated Irish linen pieces, brides wanting genuine vintage wedding hankies, or enthusiasts of mid-century retail packaging. The intact original box significantly enhances the collectibility of this lot compared to loose items. Shipped carefully from a smoke-free home with protective packaging to preserve both the textiles and the box for your display.
