Know before you buy
This certification guarantees that the flax fiber is grown in Western Europe without artificial irrigation and is GMO-free. It ensures the material is traceable, sustainable, and meets high standards for environmental responsibility.
The pre-washing process breaks in the fibers before they reach you, resulting in a significantly softer, more flexible hand-feel than raw linen. It also helps minimize shrinkage after your first home wash.
Yes, at 56 cm square, these are generously sized napkins that provide ample coverage for formal dinners or casual meals. The 1.5-inch hems and mitered corners give them a structured, substantial weight that sits well on the lap.
Yes, these napkins are designed for everyday use and are both machine washable and dryer safe. Because they are 100% linen, you may notice a natural, relaxed texture after laundering, which is characteristic of high-quality flax.
While the mitered corners provide a clean, tailored look that complements modern tableware, they also reinforce the edges of the napkin. This construction helps the hem lay flat and prevents the corners from bunching up after repeated washings.
