Know before you buy
Because these napkins are colored with natural dyes, we recommend hand washing or machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild, pH-neutral detergent. To preserve the vibrancy of the indigo and black tones, air dry them away from direct sunlight.
Natural dyes can behave differently than synthetic ones. You may notice slight color runoff during the first few washes, which is normal for artisanal textiles. Washing them separately in cold water will help maintain the integrity of the checkered pattern over time.
Yes. The hand-spun, hand-woven organic cotton is highly absorbent and durable. The fabric has a substantial, tactile feel that makes them functional for daily meals while remaining elegant enough for special occasions.
No. The beauty of block printing lies in the slight variations in pattern alignment and ink saturation. Each napkin is individually printed, meaning you will see unique, artisanal characteristics that distinguish them from mass-produced linens.
Each napkin measures 19 inches by 19 inches. This is a standard, generous size for a dinner napkin, providing ample coverage for your lap.
