Temari

Temari are a Japanese folk craft, made by painstakingly creating and embroidering perfectly round spheres from scrap thread . They can be given as gifts, hung as Christmas ornaments, or (as is often done in Japan) displayed around the home. 

Testimonials

  • Sojie

    I bought two embroidered handkerchiefs and they’re PERFECT! I bought them as a wedding gift for my friends... one for each with their wedding date. We forgot the tissues at our wedding, which was a mistake because I’m a crier. I want to make sure they have something to give each other to cry into during the ceremony. I think it may become a gift-giving tradition of mine. I plan on getting many more!
    The quality and craftsmanship are divine and they’ll have a keepsake of their special day for a long long time.

    I’m in LOVE with Jackie’s hankies. They’re absolutely stunning.
    We messaged over the course of a few weeks to come up with a package of hankies I could gift my family for my upcoming wedding. I was so appreciative of her patience, creativity, and responsiveness to begin with.


    Now, receiving the hankies in the mail, I’m stunned at how much more beautiful these are in my hand. They’re the utmost in quality (!!!), bespoke, old-school, world-class elegance. 😍😍😍 Exactly what I was hoping for and more!!! I know these will be cherished forever and I’m so grateful.

    Love the quality of the Linen and hand sewn embroidery! Jackie, the owner is very helpful when i needed assistance in color choices for the embroidery. the whole experience was very pleasant and has so much personal touch in the things they made. even the parcel came with hand tied tweed ribbons!

    I have never come across anyone as sincere as Jackie.
    Thank you for doing this. We love the pocket squares! :)
