# Suave Kerchief Scratchpads The Hankie Pocketbook Lets You Look Dapper with Your Doodler Handy By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-02-06 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hankie-pocketbook References: [gizmodo](http://gizmodo.com/5882261/hankie-notepads-keep-reporters-looking-dapper) & [animicausa](http://www.animicausa.com/shop/Office-Gifts/Hankie-Pocketbook/tpflypage.tpl.html) If you put proper thought into it, there are dozens of little details that can really spruce up a suit. One is the traditional patterned hanky in the breast pocket, now often considered to be more of an exuberant embellishment to a formal blazer. But where the decorative cloth is purely aesthetic, the Hankie Pocketbook introduces purpose. It's a small 60-page notebook designed to be slipped into the front of your jacket and allowed to subtly peek out. Eliminating the straight edge along the top of the notebook, the designer gave it an asymmetrical point to masquerade as the corner of a handkerchief. Available in three colors with light ornamental motifs, the Hankie Pocketbook looks well placed within your coat and remains convenient for scrawling spontaneous inspirations at high-profile events. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Fashion-functional Accessories:** The integration of functional elements into fashion accessories provides opportunities for innovative and multipurpose designs. - **Disguised Necessities:** Disguising everyday items as fashion accessories offers a unique way to combine style and practicality. - **Subtle Statement Pieces:** Accessories that blend seamlessly into an outfit while making a subtle statement create an opportunity for understated personal expression. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can explore the integration of functionality and style to create unique and versatile products. - **Stationery and Paper Goods:** The stationery and paper goods industry can innovate by designing disguisable notebooks and other functional items. - **Event Services:** Providing specialized accessories, such as the Hankie Pocketbook, can cater to high-profile events and offer convenience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pleated Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moleskine-and-issey-miyake.md) - [Leather-Bound Connected Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connected-notebooks.md) - [Clinical Bed Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hospital-bed-notebook.md) - [Book-Inspired Tech Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twelve-south-bookbook-caddysack.md) - [Modular Refillable Notebook Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/notebook-system.md) - [Pocket Writing Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindone-snapin-case.md) - [Cubic Minimalist Memo Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memo-block.md) - [Imitation Book Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/novel-bookwallets.md) - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md)
