At first glance, an ordinary neckerchief. In fact, it comes with a cold pack pocket. Large handkerchiefs for smart heatstroke prevention are newly released from two brands, 'Sybilla' and 'Kitamura'.

Blooming Nakanishi Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Hajime Nakanishi), founded in 1879 (Meiji 12), will release "Large Handkerchiefs with Pockets for Cold Packs" as a measure against intense summer heat, from the Spanish brand "Sybilla" and Yokohama Motomachi's handbag brand "Kitamura".

In recent years, Japanese summers have become increasingly severe, and the demand for cooling items has expanded. On the other hand, many voices are heard saying, "I want to avoid things that obviously look like countermeasure goods," and "I want to use them naturally when commuting or going out." This product was developed to meet such needs.

Its appearance is an elegant and simple neckerchief. However, it is actually a functional handkerchief equipped with an internal pocket for storing a cold pack.

It can be used like a regular neckerchief, by wrapping it around the neck or draping it over the shoulders, allowing for subtle heatstroke prevention while naturally blending into your outfit.

It doesn't overtly declare "I'm a countermeasure." Yet, it possesses reliable functionality.

This is a new proposal for the coming summer, balancing fashion and functionality.

Product Features

1. With a "hidden pocket" for storing cold packs A dedicated pocket for cold packs has been provided inside the large handkerchief.

Designed to be folded diagonally in half and wrapped around the neck, the pocket part is discreet from the outside. It allows for natural heat protection while maintaining the elegant appearance of a neckerchief.

2. Gentle perceived temperature, not too cold The overlap of the fabric can be adjusted depending on how it's worn, maintaining a comfortable coolness while preventing it from getting too cold.

It reduces the discomfort of "feeling too cold when directly touching" and can be used comfortably when going out or traveling.

3. Cotton material for sweat and sun protection simultaneously The material is 100% cotton, gentle on the skin.

It absorbs sweat well and can be easily washed. It is useful not only for sweat management around the neck but also as a sun protection item to shield the neck area from strong summer sunlight.
