A handkerchief holder system that allows a handkerchief to be placed inside the holder quickly and easily and prevents the handkerchief from displacing within the holder and displacing out of the pocket of a garment.

Description

BACKGROUND

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to handkerchief holder systems, and more specifically to handkerchief holder system that allows a handkerchief to be placed inside the holder and to be taken out of the holder with ease.

2. Description of Related Art

Handkerchief holder systems are well known in the art and are effective means to protect a handkerchief from becoming soiled. Commonly in the art, handkerchief holder systems are also used to secure a handkerchief in place, such as in the breast pocket of men's jackets, so that the handkerchief is displayed as a decorative accessory.
One of the problems commonly associated with current handkerchief holder systems is the difficulty in preventing the handkerchief from displacing within the system, causing the handkerchief to slip within the garment pocket or to slip out of the garment pocket. Additionally, current handkerchief holder systems do not provide an uncomplicated way to insert the handkerchief in place or taking the handkerchief out.
Accordingly, although great strides have been made in the area of handkerchief holder systems, many shortcomings remain.
