obi

A unique freestanding handkerchief that can also be used as a cup sleeve

The shape of the handkerchief is cylindrical to make it as compact as possible when placed in a pocket, yet self-standing on a desk to help it dry naturally. The product was designed based on the manufacturing process of Hirafu Orimono’s knitted Japanese belt for the Kimono called an Obi, so that it can be created efficiently and would create the appearance of an Obi when attached to a coffee cup.
