Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, I can confidently say that these handkerchiefs are a waste of money. The stitching is haphazard and the cotton feels thin and rough. While the colors look nice at first, they fade and bleed in the wash. The only plus is that they come in assorted colors, but that doesn't make up for the poor quality. I'd recommend investing in higher-quality handkerchiefs for a true touch of class.
