Know before you buy
These napkins are crafted from 100% pure cotton, offering a soft yet substantial hand-feel. Because they are hand-loomed, they possess a slight, artisanal texture that feels more authentic and durable than mass-produced alternatives.
To maintain the integrity of the weave, we recommend machine washing in cold water on a gentle cycle. For the best results, air dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting to prevent shrinkage.
They are designed for versatility. The 19.5-inch square size is standard for dinner napkins, making them substantial enough for formal table settings while remaining durable enough for daily family meals.
As with most high-quality, 100% natural cotton textiles, you may experience very minor shrinkage after the initial wash. We recommend washing in cold water to minimize this and to help preserve the vibrancy of the hand-dyed fibers.
Each set is sourced directly from East Africa, supporting local artisans in Kenya and Uganda. By working with these communities, Siafu Home ensures fair labor practices and preserves traditional hand-weaving techniques.
