Know before you buy
These napkins require hand washing to preserve the integrity of the natural vegetable dyes and the delicate block-printed design. Avoid harsh detergents or machine cycles to ensure the fabric and patterns remain vibrant over time.
Because each napkin is handprinted using traditional pearwood stamps, there will be slight variations in the print. This is a hallmark of authentic Italian craftsmanship and means every piece is unique.
The napkins are made from 100% linen, which is known for its durability and natural texture. While linen has a crisp, structured feel initially, it will soften beautifully with each hand wash while maintaining its elegant drape.
Each napkin measures 20 inches by 20 inches, which is a standard, generous size for a dinner napkin. This provides ample coverage for formal dining or everyday use.
Yes, Stamperia Bertozzi uses natural vegetable dyes for their block-printing process. These are eco-friendly and reflect the brand's commitment to traditional, sustainable production methods.
