A Special Handkerchief for Cat Day
February 22 is recognized as Cat Day, and in celebration,
CLASSICS the Small Luxury is introducing a delightful new handkerchief titled
Cat House. This latest addition, launching on January 28, 2026, ahead of the annual Cat Day observance, continues the brand's tradition of cat-themed designs. The unique handkerchief features a combination of printed art and intricate Vietnamese hand embroidery, showcasing the everyday charm of our feline friends.
The Inspiration Behind the Creation
Vietnamese hand embroidery is a time-honored craft, but it faces the challenge of declining artisanship in recent years. To counter this trend and preserve this exquisite art, we have committed ourselves to producing embroidered handkerchiefs over the years. The
Cat House handkerchief is a product of this dedication, following the success of our previous
Dog Museum handkerchief.
The design of
Cat House captures cats leisurely enjoying their time in a dollhouse-like setting, cleverly illustrated and brought to life through printing techniques. Certain elements are elevated with Vietnamese hand embroidery, infusing the piece with a warmth and texture that only handwork can provide. While traditional Vietnamese embroidery is often linked to floral patterns, this design represents a modern twist that seamlessly fits into contemporary lifestyles.
Details of the Handkerchief
- - Price: 5,500 yen (tax included)
- - Size: 41 × 41 cm
This handkerchief elegantly embodies the splendid quirks and affectionate antics of cats that bring joy and relaxation to anyone who sees it. The printed dollhouse atmosphere showcases a cat playfully interacting with a flower, featuring intricate embroidery in the lower right corner. The contrast between the dimensional embroidery and the flat texture of the print enhances its visual appeal. This charming piece is a must-have for all cat enthusiasts.
Featured Cat-Themed Handkerchiefs
In addition to
Cat House, we offer several other cat-themed handkerchiefs:
- - HIKKOMI Cat: Priced at 2,750 yen (tax included), this handkerchief features a whimsical cat hanging from the top-left corner. Known for its unique design, it remains a staple of CLASSICS the Small Luxury. Available in an array of vibrant and subtle colors, it’s a versatile accessory suitable for everyone—whether used to dry hands, wrapped around wrists or hair, or as a pocket square.
These handkerchiefs make great gifts for occasions such as graduations or new school beginnings, perfect for sharing between parents and children.
Additionally, we offer various options, such as handkerchiefs with glow-in-the-dark cat eyes or designs featuring cats whimsically walking with their tails wagging, ensuring that every cat lover will find something to adore.
