Reviewers consistently highlight the Colette Napkin's exceptional quality and timeless design. The substantial yet soft linen fabric is a favorite, noted for improving with each wash by becoming softer and more absorbent.

Know before you buy
You can expect a natural shrinkage of 10-15% after the first wash. Because of this, the napkins will settle into a slightly smaller, more compact size than their original 18-inch dimensions.
Not necessarily. These napkins are designed to have a relaxed, lived-in aesthetic, so minimal ironing is required. If you prefer a crisp look, you can iron them while slightly damp, but they look beautiful with their natural texture.
The 100% linen fabric is designed to become exceptionally soft and supple with repeated washing. The more you use and launder them, the better they feel.
Machine wash them on a gentle cycle. For drying, we recommend either line-drying or using a cool tumble dry setting to maintain the integrity of the linen fibers.
The Colette Napkins are sold individually. This allows you to purchase the exact number you need for your table setting or to mix and match colors if desired.
