Know before you buy
These napkins are crafted from 100% linen, a natural fiber known for its durability, breathability, and soft texture that improves with every wash.
Each napkin is hand-printed in Italy using traditional block-printing techniques. Artisans use hand-carved pearwood stamps and vegetable-based dyes to create the unique floral design.
Each napkin measures 18 inches by 18 inches, providing a standard, versatile size suitable for both casual lunches and formal dinner settings.
While vegetable dyes are environmentally friendly and offer a beautiful, authentic aesthetic, they are more delicate than synthetic dyes. We recommend washing in cool water with a gentle detergent to maintain the vibrancy of the print over time.
Linen is surprisingly durable and becomes softer and more absorbent with regular use. While it does wrinkle naturally, many find that these creases add to the relaxed, artisanal charm of the fabric.
