Know before you buy
Since this towel is not machine washable, we recommend hand washing it in cool water with a gentle detergent. Lay it flat to air dry to maintain the integrity of the natural linen fibers.

Yes, because it is made from 100% natural linen, it is not lint-free. You may notice some minor fiber shedding during the first few uses, which typically decreases as the fabric breaks in.
Absolutely. Its size and classic striped aesthetic make it a versatile addition to your table setting. It functions beautifully as a decorative and functional placemat for casual meals.
