A system for handling flexible articles such as tubular hosiery blanks each having a toe portion and a welt or band portion and for subsequently closing the toe portions includes an assembly for retrieving randomly oriented blanks from a supply reservoir, a pneumatic feed assembly for displacing the blanks to a magazine, a mechanism for selectively displacing the blanks from the magazine such that the toe portion is always first, an assembly for opening the band portion and positioning the band portion on fingers which expand and convey the blank to a transport tube of a toe closing assembly. The blank is inverted on the transport tube and the toe portion subsequently sewn.
