The handkerchief features TOIRO's signature repeating cross pattern -- a geometric motif that is eye-catching yet subtle enough for versatility.

The humble square of cloth has plenty of options for creative styling -- triangle necker with the knot in front or back, rolled into a headband or scarf. Also tie it onto the handle of your bag or double it around your wrist.

It's definitely functional, too. As Kristin learned as a Girl Scout, a bandana is the jack knife of cloth and she always has a couple with her. It keeps cool air off one's neck when it's cold, and it absorbs sweat when it's warm. Use it to catch a sneeze or wipe your face after a sweaty subway ride, admittedly not in that order. But you get the idea.
