Isn’t this great??? Made from bold red linen fabric, it is hand embroidered in a Black Americana theme and the words “Lip Stick”. It measures 11.5” x 8.5” and folds small enough to slip into your purse. Towels like this (sometimes called “hankies”) were carried by women to blot their lipstick when they were out and about and needed to freshen up in the powder room. A great conversation piece, for sure!
Hand laundered, air dried and pressed. Excellent condition c. 1950 - 60s
