Bateau bateau
Imperfect reusable tissues available individually or in packs of 12. Limited quantities.
Those imperfect handkerchiefs have minor flaws in their cut, such as being slightly too big or small or cut unevenly. However, they are still usable and have no defects that affect their lifespan. They are just slightly less aesthetically pleasing than our other handkerchiefs.
- Choose white tissues if you prefer thinner ones.
- Opt for black tissues if you tend to have nosebleeds or want to use them to wipe chocolate-covered mouths.
- Select cream-colored tissues if you prefer thicker ones and want locally made ones.
Note that cream-colored handkerchiefs may fray in top-loading washing machines.

Drying off after love
All uses are good to reduce your use of disposable tissues!
FEATURES
Fabric made of 70% bamboo viscose and 30% organic cotton. Certified OEKO-TEX-100.
The tissues are the same size as a disposable tissue: 7.5" x 8" (19 x 20.3 cm).
They are cut simply, without overlocking (seam around).
CARE
Our tissues are washer and dryer safe.
Our reusable tissues may shrink slightly and deform over time. They are not supposed to fray*. If you ever see any threads, simply trim them and continue to use them as usual. If you notice abnormal fraying of your tissues, please contact us.
*Except for our imperfect tissues. Top-loading HE washers without an agitator are more likely to fray our tissues. If you have this type of washer, it is recommended to choose white or black tissues and/or wash them on a delicate cycle.
If needed, you can first run a quick cycle with hot water to dilute any mucus. (This step is optional, but it helps ease many psychological barriers. You can even add rags, socks, and underwear at this stage.)
Wash the handkerchiefs with other items such as clothes, washcloths, and towels, preferably with cold water (for the environment).
Do not overload your washer. The tissues need space to unfold so that water and soap can penetrate the fabric.
🩸 CAUTION! Blood can stain white fabrics. Rinse with cold water immediately.
🚫 Avoid using bleach, as chlorine can weaken natural fibers and damage or yellow fabrics over time.
🚫 Avoid using liquid fabric softener, as it can waterproof the fibers and make your handkerchiefs less absorbent over time.
Dry the handkerchiefs in the dryer to keep them soft or hang them to air dry.
🚫 Avoid using fabric softener sheets, as they can waterproof the fibers of the handkerchiefs and make them less absorbent over time.
