The "Lovers Handkerchiefs" or "Wishing Handkerchiefs" are traditional handmade pieces from the North of Portugal, particularly from the Minho region. They have their origins in the 17th and 18th century. Normally created and used by young women, these embroidered handkerchiefs filled with romantic verses are designed with colors and symbols that represent dedication, friendship and love.
