Know before you buy
Kutnu is a traditional, high-quality fabric originating from Gaziantep, Turkey, dating back to the 16th century. It is a unique, hand-loomed blend of silk and cotton, known for its distinct texture and vibrant, long-lasting colors.
Due to the delicate silk and cotton blend, we recommend professional dry cleaning to maintain the fabric's integrity and color vibrancy. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing, which could damage the traditional weave.
While they are durable enough for regular dining, they are best suited for special occasions or styled tablescapes where you want to highlight their artisanal quality. Because they are handcrafted from natural fibers, they should be handled with care to prevent staining.
Kutnu fabric is prized for its rich, saturated hues, but like any natural fiber textile, it can fade if left in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods. We recommend keeping them away from harsh UV exposure to preserve the brightness of the red and pink tones.
Yes, the weave of the Kutnu fabric provides a structured yet flexible feel that lays flat on most surfaces. If they arrive with minor creases from transit, a light steam on the reverse side will help them settle perfectly.
