Where can I buy handkerchiefs in HCMC?

I'm looking for the straight-up cotton kind - I sweat so much and I'm I've lost all 10 of mine since I moved to Saigon. I'm having a difficult time finding replacements. They don't need to be fancy, just cotton and square, like you'd normally find near the socks in a Target. I've checked crescent mall and several co-ops but can't seem to locate any.

Thank you for any recommendations you may have in advance!!

At the end of Bui Thi Xuan Street Dist 1 is a local market selling groceries and dry good items. Sorry I don't remember the name but I did buy handkerchiefs there. Seems like they were expensive for what I got but like you I couldn't find them at other places.

Thank you SO MUCH!! I couldn't believe I was having such a hard time finding them. I'll be checking that out first thing tomorrow. :)

Do you mean the end near the park or the end with the Co-Op?

I stayed at the Empress Hotel 136 Bui Thi Xuan Street in District 1 and the store is within walking distance of maybe 5-10 minutes. Once on that street you will walk directly into it.
