Hudson Napkin in Nairobi

The stone-washing process breaks down the fibers, resulting in a soft, supple hand-feel right out of the package. It removes the stiffness often associated with new linen, giving the napkins a relaxed, lived-in drape.

Yes, Belgian linen is renowned for its exceptional strength and longevity. These napkins are designed to withstand frequent use and repeated washings, actually becoming softer and more absorbent over time.

These napkins are machine washable, making them practical for everyday dining. We recommend washing them in cool or lukewarm water and air drying or tumble drying on a low setting to maintain the integrity of the linen fibers.

Because they are crafted from 100% natural linen and have already undergone a stone-washing process, any significant shrinkage has typically already occurred during manufacturing. To keep them in top condition, avoid high-heat drying cycles.

The Hudson Napkin is designed with a relaxed, rustic aesthetic, so a crisp, pressed look is not required. If you prefer a smoother finish, you can lightly iron them while damp, but they look perfectly refined with their natural, soft texture.
