Know before you buy
Because these napkins are hand-printed with traditional vegetable dyes, they require hand washing to preserve the integrity of the pattern and the fabric. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents to ensure the colors remain vibrant over time.
Yes, their 20" x 20" size and elegant mitered corner hems make them well-suited for formal table settings. While they are durable enough for everyday use, the artisanal block-printing adds a sophisticated, high-end aesthetic perfect for special occasions.
Each napkin is printed by hand using carved pearwood stamps, which creates slight variations in the pattern. These subtle imperfections are a hallmark of authentic Italian craftsmanship and ensure that no two napkins are exactly alike.
Linen is one of the most durable natural fibers available and actually becomes softer and more absorbent with every wash. These napkins are designed to withstand frequent use while maintaining their structure and quality.
The vegetable dyes are applied using traditional techniques that prioritize natural, eco-friendly materials. While they are high-quality, they are more delicate than synthetic dyes, so hand washing is essential to prevent fading.
