Know before you buy
No, these napkins require hand washing to preserve the integrity of the vegetable dyes and the delicate hand-printed details.
Because they are crafted with natural, eco-friendly vegetable dyes, you may notice a slight softening of color over time, which is a characteristic of the artisanal process. To maintain the vibrancy, avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight when drying.
These napkins are made from high-quality 100% linen, which starts with a crisp, structured feel. Linen naturally softens with every wash while maintaining its durability and elegant drape.
No, each napkin is unique. Because they are printed by hand using traditional pearwood stamps, there will be subtle variations in the pattern that highlight their artisanal, handcrafted nature.
The mitered corner hem provides a clean, tailored finish that allows the napkin to lay flat on the table. It is a hallmark of high-quality textile construction that prevents bulky corners.
