How to Wash Hanky Panky Underwear?

Proper care is essential for preserving the longevity of the delicate lace of Hanky Panky underwear. Gentle hand washing is recommended,  we suggest washing all underwear with Soak, a rinse-free premium wash product. Never machine-dry lace lingerie. Dryer will damage delicate fibres and ruin the fabric.  If machine washing is really necessary, use a lingerie bag, separate by colour, and avoid over-filling. Use a mild detergent without bleach or brighteners, wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, and lay flat to dry. 

Hanky Panky Brand FAQ

What was the inspiration for the Hanky Panky name? Hanky Panky undergarments originated from the innovative practice of upcycling, transforming existing materials into new creations. In 1977, designer Gale Epstein crafted a lingerie set from embroidered handkerchiefs for her friend’s birthday, giving rise to the name 'Hanky' for handkerchief. Since then, the company has steadfastly championed slow fashion, sustainable practices, and fair compensation, with all employees proudly owning a share in the company.

Where are Hanky Panky underwear made? Hanky Panky is dedicated to sustainability and locally as it is possible. Most products are knitted, dyed, and finished in the northeast USA and shipped from the brands warehouse in Queens. The cotton used for the lining is also grown in the USA. The unique lace pattern, owned by the brand, is knitted by a sixth-generation lace manufacturer, and new modal fabric is knitted in California.
