You read that right. Handkerchiefs – those OG squares of fabric—are making a serious comeback. We at hexafun HQ were mindblown (in the best way) to see how our Millennial and Gen Z fam are going all eco-warrior. Instead of that endless tissue tango, they're forging a beautiful bond with the classic handkerchief.
Before we dive into this handkerchief revolution, let's get schooled.

What are handkerchiefs used for?
These cuties are multi-taskers. Need to blow your nose? Check. Wipe away a tear during a sad movie? Done! Mopping up a surprise coffee spill? Handkerchief to the rescue!
Now, let's get the real tea from our in-house Millennial and Gen Z crew. We split them up and grilled them on why they're breaking up with tissues for handkerchiefs.
Millennials opinion: Eco friendly & Reusable
"Dude, tissues are like disposable nightmares," explained Manali, a total boss babe in our marketing department. "Trees get chopped down to make those things, and then they just get tossed. Not cool for Mother Earth."
It turns out, Manali's right. Making tissues requires chopping down a ton of trees, which isn't exactly a sustainable move.
"Plus," chimed in Harshit, our operations wizard, "handkerchiefs are reusable. You just wash them, and bam! Good as new. Saves money and the planet. Win-win!"Â
Gen Zs opinion: Style on point & Wallet friendly
"Handkerchiefs are like the ultimate fashion accessory," declared Katha, our graphic design guru. "You can find them in all these dope patterns and colors. It's a way to express yourself, you know?"
Yeah, Katha! Unlike those boring white tissues or sluggish wet wipes, handkerchiefs can be a statement piece.
"And let's be real," added Omkar, our social media whiz, "tissues are kind of flimsy. Handkerchiefs are way more high-quality. You get what you pay for, and a good handkerchief lasts forever."
The bigger picture
So, there you have it. Millennials and Gen Z are proving that being eco-conscious and styling can go hand-in-hand (or should we say, pocket-in-pocket?) with the humble handkerchief.
