Blast from the past: The '90s handkerchief shirt' is here!
"These hankies are so nostalgic. Every 90s kid, their mother and teacher had this," commented one user
A viral video has taken the Internet by storm, showcasing a man's incredible creation — a shirt made entirely from vintage cotton handkerchiefs. The video, shared by @parambanana on Instagram, has left many nostalgic and in awe of the creator's skill.
The man behind the masterpiece explains that he used his collection of square, vintage floral handkerchiefs to create the shirt, giving it a fun and stylish look. He walks viewers through the process, starting with sewing the handkerchiefs together to form long fabric sheets, which are then ironed to ensure a seamless fit.
The creator's attention to detail is impressive, from tracing the shirt pattern onto the fabric sheets to cutting out the panels. The sleeves feature a unique window-style design.
The end result is a vintage-style shirt that's both authentic and aesthetic.

I use to collect these handkerchiefs with all different colours. Ironing them into small squares adding some talc/deo so that I can smell good fragrance in school.”
The creator's use of vintage handkerchiefs has not only resulted in a stunning piece of clothing but also brought back fond memories for many. As one user put it, "This is so authentic and aesthetic at the same time.... when the world is losing colours, thank you for adding some".
