Why we chose The Chief Project?
- Locally made in Hong Kong - support local!
- Cute pattern designs
- Upcycles excess textile factory waste from the global fashion industry by turning them into reuseable daily products to replace single-use disposables
- Reduce waste by (upcycling) waste - the best low waste approach to sustainability in our opinion 😉
- Employs workers from the local community, such as housewives with sewing skills who are looking to work again in Hong Kong
Product Highlights
- Stay classy! Be nice to your sniffly nose with these super soft hankies... (no itchy red noses during allergies and colds)
- Travel and on-the-go friendly: lightweight and small to fit into your pocket!
- Use for local bakery goods, e.g buying your bo lo baau in a pretty hanky instead of a disposable plastic bag
- Reduces disposable tissue waste just like how our grandparents did with their hankies.
- Reuseable and washable. Save money from buying tissue packets when you're out and about.
- 100% cotton from excess textile factory waste in the fashion industry. Sewn by the local community.

How to use
- Use for wiping your hands or blowing your nose into. Some of us here gets a bit peckish and use it for buying our favourite Bo Lo Baau from the local bakery! (We get weird looks... but we saved on plastic baggies.)
- Use for wrapping your tupperware or tiffin boxes bento style! Have your sweet potato lunch like the anime character that you've always wanted to be...
