Know before you buy
To preserve the integrity of the vegetable dyes and the linen fibers, we recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Air drying is best to prevent shrinkage and maintain the texture of the fabric.
No, the traditional block-printing technique is applied to one side of the linen. The reverse side will show a lighter, muted impression of the pattern.
The dyes are selected for their traditional quality and eco-friendly properties. While some minor softening of the color is natural over time with frequent laundering, the prints are designed to be durable and long-lasting.
Yes, 100% linen is highly absorbent and becomes softer and more efficient with every wash. It is well-suited for drying glassware and dishes without leaving lint behind.
Yes, because each towel is hand-printed using carved pearwood stamps, slight variations in the pattern are expected. These nuances are a hallmark of the authentic artisan process and make each piece unique.
