Each Rainbow Striped Handkerchief starts with premium Wanzai ramie – known as "China Grass" for its natural durability and breathability. The production follows 15+ traditional Xiabu processes: fresh ramie stalks are peeled, dew-bleached (using morning dew to naturally ferment and degum, no chemicals), and hand-spun into fine yarns. Artisans then dye the yarns with 100% plant-based pigments (e.g., indigo for blue, safflower for red, gardenia for yellow) to create seven soft, gradient rainbow hues.
On traditional wooden looms, the dyed yarns are woven into 32x32cm square handkerchiefs, with stripes arranged in a balanced rainbow order (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) – each stripe is 1.2cm wide, ensuring vivid yet harmonious colors. The edges are hand-rolled and stitched with matching ramie thread for reinforcement, preventing fraying while keeping a delicate look. Every piece bears a tiny woven label engraved with our brand logo and "Wanzai Xiabu Heritage" to certify its authenticity, overseen by our heritage inheritors to guarantee craft accuracy.
Heritage Craft & Modern Color: Combines intangible cultural heritage Xiabu hand-weaving with soft rainbow stripes, breaking the stereotype of "traditional crafts being outdated".
100% Natural & Safe: Made of pure ramie fiber (renewable) and plant-based dyes (no heavy metals or synthetic additives), meeting EU REACH environmental standards.
Unique Striped Detail: Hand-woven rainbow stripes with slight color gradients (no two pieces are identical due to manual dyeing), ensuring exclusivity.
Durable & Soft: Hand-spun ramie yarns and tight weaving make it resistant to tearing; it becomes softer after each wash without losing color.
Breathable & Absorbent: Ramie’s natural micro-pores keep the handkerchief dry and non-sticky, even after repeated use.
Daily Hygiene Accessory: Ideal for wiping hands, face, or glasses – its high absorbency (8x that of cotton) and quick-drying feature prevent bacterial growth.
Fashion Accent: Adds a pop of color to outfits – tuck it in shirt pockets, tie it to handbag handles, or use it as a mini scarf for kids, elevating style instantly.
Thoughtful Gift Wrap: Wrap small gifts (e.g., jewelry, chocolates) with it – the rainbow stripes make gifts more festive, and the handkerchief can be reused, reducing waste.
Cultural Souvenir: Serves as a unique travel souvenir or cultural gift, letting recipients take home a piece of Chinese intangible heritage.
Emergency Decoration: Use it as a small tablecloth for picnic snacks or a hair accessory (tie it as a headband) for impromptu outdoor activities.
More Unique Than Mass-Produced Striped Handkerchiefs: Unlike machine-printed rainbow handkerchiefs, ours are hand-woven with plant dyes – each has unique color nuances, no "copy-paste" uniformity.
Better for Skin & Environment: Synthetic-dyed handkerchiefs may irritate sensitive skin, but our plant-based dyes are hypoallergenic; plus, ramie is biodegradable, reducing environmental impact.
Longer-Lasting Than Cotton: Ramie fiber resists mildew and shrinkage – our handkerchief can withstand 200+ washes without fading or losing shape, outlasting regular cotton alternatives.
Cultural Value Added: It carries the story of Xiabu’s 1,600-year history, making it a conversation starter – far more meaningful than ordinary decorative handkerchiefs.
Versatile for All Ages: The soft rainbow colors suit kids (non-toxic, safe for teething babies to touch) and adults (elegant enough for office or casual use), expanding its user range.
Daily Life: Use at home, work, or school – keep it in pockets, handbags, or backpacks for quick hygiene needs.
Fashion Matching: Pair with casual outfits (jeans + T-shirts) for a lively vibe, or with dresses for a subtle pop of color; great for music festivals, picnics, or beach trips.
Gifting Scenarios: Perfect for birthdays, Children’s Day, Christmas, or housewarmings – a thoughtful gift for friends, family, or colleagues who love eco-friendly, cultural items.

Q1: Will the rainbow stripes fade after washing?
A1: No. We use plant-based dyes with a natural fixing process (soaking in tea extract) – the colors may soften slightly after the first wash but will not fade with proper care (hand wash in cold water, no bleach).
Q2: Is the handkerchief too thick for summer use?
A2: No. Xiabu ramie fabric is lightweight (only 35g per handkerchief) and highly breathable – it stays cool against the skin, making it perfect for summer.
Q3: Can it be used for babies or people with sensitive skin?
A3: Yes. The fabric is hand-softened through dew-bleaching, and plant dyes have no irritants – it’s safe for babies to use as a drool cloth or for those with eczema.
Q4: Do you offer custom stripe widths or color combinations?
A4: For bulk orders (minimum 100 pieces), we can adjust stripe widths or create pastel rainbow variants. Contact our customer service for customization quotes.
Q5: How to confirm the handkerchief is authentic Xiabu?
A5: Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, signed by our national-level Xiabu heritage inheritor, detailing the production process and Wanzai origin. You can also scan the QR code on the label to verify.
