Know before you buy
Because these napkins are printed with traditional vegetable dyes, we recommend hand washing or using a gentle machine cycle with cold water and mild detergent. To preserve the integrity of the block-printed pattern, air dry them flat and iron while slightly damp.
The vegetable dyes are applied using traditional techniques that prioritize natural, sustainable materials. While they are durable, some slight fading or softening of the color may occur over time with repeated washing, which is a characteristic of authentic artisan-printed textiles.
These napkins are crafted from 100% linen, which offers a crisp, substantial feel that softens beautifully with every wash. It provides a natural, textured aesthetic that is both durable and elegant for formal or casual dining.
No. Because each napkin is handprinted using traditional pearwood stamps, there will be slight variations in the placement and intensity of the Blue Wave pattern. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the hand-crafting process and ensure that every piece is unique.
Each napkin measures 20 by 20 inches, which is a standard, generous size suitable for most table settings and folding styles.
