This is the story of Craig and Jodie and what later became the start of Little Hanks

jodie bailey

Handkerchief Artist
I have always been a sucker for arts and crafts from making my own little sculptures from polymer clay to drawing my favourite characters from beloved TV shows and films. 

Continuing my love for all things Artsy I pursued a 2 year college course in Art and Design to gain my BTEC National Diploma. Not knowing what route to continue into I decided to set aside the idea of going to university and chose to keep my arts and crafts a hobby and get the first job I could to help support my mum and sister. 

After working in retail for 10 years I came to the decision that it wasn’t right for me and it was time to go down a new route. I have always turned to sewing; making little quilts, tote bags and decorative items. It wasn’t until my boyfriend told me about a new EDC item he’d seen and wanted to add to his collection, I offered to make him his first hank; that’s when Little Hanks was born.




CRAIG SKELTON

EDC Enthusiast and Handkerchief Designer
Always striving to do better and progress my skill set. I started off as a junior at the age of 18 in the bathroom industry; I progressed quickly into management by the age of 20 and within my 11 year service I picked up several skills, including product procurement and development.

After a joyful career in the industry I had decided it was time for a change and made the big step of going into business with my brother; a family run recruitment agency specialising in logistics.

Since I gained my firearms and SGC licence I have thoroughly enjoyed game shooting, clay pigeon shooting and days at the range. Another hobby of mine is taking Bruce out for long walks and training him as a gundog!

I have always had a thing for knives and as I have got older my collection has grown tenfold; The past 6 months I have been a EDC fanatic which lead me to the hank game. Carrying something in my pocket everyday that me and my girlfriend created makes me very content. 

Jodie and Craig aged 8 and 10 little did we know that in 20 years time we would be reconnecting through a popular dating app!

Close friends through childhood our paths parted at the ages of 10 and 12 only to meet again at the ages of 28 and 30. At this point we both worked hard for a living and knew what we wanted from a relationship and we just clicked. 

Without Craig's drive and motivation skills and Jodie's creative sewing skills Little Hanks wouldn’t be what it is today we both work hard to iron out the kinks to bring our customers quality, hardwearing and stylish handkerchiefs.
