Bring Back The Hanky Code
I am Phi, a nonbinary trans maker creating hanky code keychains for queer and kink communities.
This project began as a way to help bring the hanky code back into visibility at a time when transphobia and homophobia are rising again. Each small hanky is designed to be worn or attached your way — on boots, belt loops, earrings, harnesses, and more — as a portable symbol of identity, desire, and community.
