About Sweetheart Handkerchiefs
Sweetheart handkerchiefs are one of Portuguese craftsmanship's most romantic traditions. Originating from Minho, they were embroidered by young women with love messages and offered to suitors. If he wore the handkerchief publicly, it meant he accepted the courtship. Symbols include hearts, flowers, doves and love phrases. At A Pharmácia da Avó, these represent the love and dedication we put into everything.
