This is the only website in the UK that sells organic cotton hankies.

They are founded upon the principle of trading in eco-friendly and ethically-sourced goods. The products are made by people who work under humane and fair labour conditions and emphasize the use of eco-friendly materials that do not have a harmful impact on the earth.
