A Collection of Designer Handkerchiefs and Hand Towels Including Burberry, Celine, and Furla - A collection of designer handkerchiefs and small hand towels crafted from cotton, terry cloth, and chenille.

Celine was founded in Paris in 1945 and operated as a leather goods and accessories house before adding ready-to-wear. The vintage Celine Paris label, used prior to the house's creative direction changes in the 2010s, appears on many handkerchiefs, scarves, and small leather goods from the 1970s through the 1990s. Designer handkerchiefs were produced in significant quantities by European fashion houses through the mid-20th century as an accessible accessory category, and surviving examples in good condition are now collected for their printed designs and archival reference value.
