You asked we made it happen! TSHU now offers personalized handkerchiefs, embroidered with your initials. How does it work? How much does it cost? What does it look like? How long does it take? We tell you everything you need to know right below. Read on!

Your Very Own Handkerchief With Initials
Hard to believe that your favorite handkerchief can now be fully customized? We promise it’s true. You can now get your initials embroidered on any handkerchief sold on the TSHU online shop.
If you don’t want to see the backing of the embroidery, we recommend opting for our thick, two-ply handkerchiefs, as the extra-layer of fabric helps conceal the back of your embroidered initials, for a cleaner, sharper look. That being said, a lot of our clients like to get their single-ply hankies personalized, so I’ve purchased some embroidery backing that melts in the wash, to make sure our thin embroidered hankies look just as sharp!
How Much Does It Cost?
It all depends on what you’d like to embroider!
- Embroidered initials are $8 a piece. This option includes the embroidery of 1 to 4 characters.
- Embroidered names are $12 a piece. This option includes the embroidery of 5 to 8 characters.
- For 9 characters and more, you’ll want to do our embroidered words option!

Good question! Again, it depends on what you want.
We usually recommend opting for a simple look, with a limited number of colors. But, as always, the final choice is yours. Let’s say we had to tell you what our dream handkerchief with initials would be? It would probably be our natural flannel hanky, our gorgeous silky black handkerchief or our simple white sateen kerchief.

For best results, we urge you to match the embroidery to the hem or topstitching color, or to do a pop of colour on a solid handkerchief. You can also opt for a “tone on tone” look—aka, navy embroidery on navy fabric. But again, if you disagree, or if you have a vision, we’re here to please.
In any case, know that you can always write me to chat about your dream handkerchief and we can design it together! I LOVE to help create the most beautiful personalized handkerchiefs.
I’m In a Hurry… Will It Take a Million Years?
Nope! We are usually able to work quite quickly and since most of our handkerchiefs are made to order, we don’t foresee any extra delays for customization. So, if you choose standard shipping, your order will be shipped out within 5 to 58business days. And if you’re in a hurry, select EXPRESS shipping and we’ll mail your order within 24 -48 hours (working days only!)—YES, even if you need 10 different handkerchiefs with initials. In 10 different colors. We’ve got your nose.
If you need your handkerchief by a specific date – for instance for your wedding day, please write me beforehand so I can give you an expedited option for the shipping with estimated delivery date to make sure you get exactly what you want!

How To Care for Your Handkerchief With Initials?
Just like any other TSHU hanky! We recommend washing in cold to lukewarm water and avoiding the dryer. Detailed instructions can be found in our article “How to wash handkerchiefs with mucus?”.
I Have an Idea!
OK, let’s hear it! Do you need a custom-made hanky for a special occasion? A pile of personalized handkerchiefs for an event? A handkerchief with a poem on it? Email us and tell us about it. If we can make it happen, we sure will!
