Here’s to the hanky, long may it reign
Readers defend the humble handkerchief in letters to The Age, sharing nostalgia for cloth hankies over disposable tissues. Writers aged 61 to 70-plus describe childhood memories of ironed hankies, creative uses like securing coins for Sunday school, and environmental benefits of washable fabric. The correspondence celebrates handkerchiefs as practical, stylish, and sustainable alternatives to single-use tissues.
