Be prepared for the swell of emotions on your wedding day with a sweet alternative to tissues and handkerchiefs.
HankyBook is a washable, renewable, reusable stack of thick, super soft organic cotton cloths sewn together like the pages of a book and covered in a protective outer layer. It is small enough to fit in your back pocket, big enough to last through cry-fest of happy tears and so versatile, you’ll wonder how you managed without it!

Oh, and HankyBooks are adorable, a much more attractive alternative to unsightly wads of tissue or soggy traditional handkerchiefs. Check out the variety of patterns and styles appropriate for everyday, baby and – of course – weddings!

Leslie Uke invented the HankyBook out of necessity: simply put, she has a nose like a leaky faucet.
“Take any snapshot of me in my adolescence, and you’d find tissues somewhere close by,” she explains. “I can’t tell you how many times I emptied the washing machine to see disintegrated tissues everywhere. I felt that I needed tissues.
“As I grew up, I became more environmentally aware, and when you realize the long journey and resources it takes to create a single tissue, only for it to go to your nose and then into the rubbish in no time at all – it just seemed so wasteful.
“At a certain point, I realized that the HankyBook was perfect as a favor for weddings, where emotions can catch guests off-guard and unprepared. It’s an invitation to let the wedding be a special and meaningful event where emotions are welcome, and you can stay in the moment because your HankyBook is on hand to save your makeup and catch those happy tears.”

Each HankyBook is made of four sheets of thick, organic cotton that are sewn down the middle to create eight “pages.” After using one page, simply flip to the next to conceal the used cotton, revealing another soft, clean “hanky.”
When not in use, the protective cover folds over to keep the interior of the HankyBook clean and prevent what’s inside from getting on your hands or clothes. HankyBook’s small size makes it easy to retrieve, use discreetly and replace in your pocket or clutch.
