'Declan' is a universal accessory that functions both as a fashion pocket square, an everyday handkerchief and also a convenient way to clean smudged surfaces.

No longer worry about using your shirt to clean your glasses with these fashionable and functional everyday accessories. Made from microfiber textiles, these decorative pieces of fabric can act as a cleaning cloth for smartphones, eyeglasses, tablets and more. Available in a number of different patterns and color designs, the 'Declan' means that touchscreens can be cleaned without just smearing around dirt and grime.

When not in use, these decorative cleaning clothes can also easily be worn as a fashion pocket square in a suit, or tucked away as a functional and refined handkerchief for ordinary situations.
