In an age of fast fashion and fleeting trends, some details never go out of style. The white handkerchief — once a staple in every gentleman’s pocket — is making a refined comeback, now with a personal twist. Embroidered with initials, it becomes more than just a functional accessory; it becomes a quiet symbol of heritage, sophistication, and self-expression. Whether tucked into a blazer or carried with everyday essentials, a monogrammed handkerchief for men speaks volumes without saying a word. But what makes it so powerful? Let’s unfold the story behind this timeless touch of elegance.
A monogrammed white handkerchief might seem minimal, but its styling possibilities are endless. Here’s how you can make the most of this understated yet powerful accessory:
Tucked into a Blazer Pocket: Let your initials peek subtly from your chest pocket. Pair it with a navy or charcoal suit for a clean, polished look that commands attention without trying too hard.
Everyday Sophistication: Even in casual settings, carrying a handkerchief with your initials adds a sense of preparedness and refinement — a nod to old-school charm with modern flair.
Wedding or Formal Attire: Whether you're the groom, best man, or guest, a personalized handkerchief adds elegance and thoughtfulness. Coordinate it with your boutonnière or tie for cohesive styling.
Travel & Business Essentials: Slip one into your carry-on or briefcase. It shows you care about details, and in situations where handkerchiefs are both functional and fashionable, you’ll be glad you did.
Whether you're attending a wedding, going to the office, or dressing up for a date, a white handkerchief adds a subtle, confident edge.
Personalizing a handkerchief with your initials turns a useful item into something truly special. It’s a simple way to make it uniquely yours.
● Uniqueness: Your initials make it one-of-a-kind.

At Bonjour, we offer tasteful embroidery options that are subtle, elegant, and always refined.
When picking out a handkerchief, especially one with your initials, quality matters. Here’s what to look for:
1. Fabric
Cotton is a popular choice because it’s soft, absorbent, and breathable. It’s also easy to maintain. Linen is another option that gives a slightly crisper, more structured look—great for pocket squares>
At Bonjour, we use high-quality cotton for a smooth, comfortable finish that lasts through regular use.
2. Size
Most men’s handkerchiefs range from 12 to 17 inches. A smaller size works best as a pocket square, while larger ones are ideal for practical use.
3. Embroidery Style
Monograms should be neat and balanced. Choose thread colors that contrast subtly with white—think light gray, navy, or soft black. The goal is elegance, not attention-seeking.
Even though handkerchiefs aren’t as commonly used as they once were, they still have a place in modern men’s lives—especially when styled or given thoughtfully.
• As a pocket square: The most common and fashionable way today. It adds texture and elegance to your suit or blazer.
• For practical use: Whether it's wiping glasses, cleaning hands, or offering it as a kind gesture, it’s always handy to have one on you.
• As a special gift: Give a handkerchief with initials to groomsmen, friends, or fathers. It’s personal, practical, and memorable.
• As a signature accessory: For some men, carrying a monogrammed handkerchief becomes part of their daily look.
A white hanky with initials might seem like a simple item—but it carries a big message. It shows that you care about how you present yourself. That you pay attention to detail. That you value timeless style.

At Bonjour, we create handkerchiefs that blend in tradition, style, and quality. From the fabric we choose to the stitching we use, every detail is made with care. Add one to your wardrobe—or give one to someone special—and bring a classic touch back into today’s fashion.
