Four Decades of Hanky Panky

To celebrate turning 40 the brand has brought back their famous hankies to pay homage to their early days. The collection is a retrospective that ranges from Gale and Lida’s, the company's co-founders and current President/ Creative Director and CEO, respectively, influences when they were starting out to where the company is now. A particular highlight is their daywear assortment. While the original multicolor hand-embroidered handkerchiefs are out of production, the last remaining units were chased down to create this truly limited edition collection. In fact, only 150 pieces have been made and each piece will be numbered. The bralette, thong and bikini are made with hankies like the original iconic designs, but have been updated with the brand’s signature lace trims for an improved fit. The assortment includes a 1985 camisole and tap pant. The addition of a thong, instead of a bikini brief like in Lida’s first set, adds a lovely modern touch and brings the brand’s origins and present together.
