Scarlette Ateliers Shimoga Napkins

Yes, these napkins are machine washable. Because they are 100% cotton and hand-printed, we recommend washing them in cold water on a gentle cycle and hanging them to dry to preserve the texture and the integrity of the print.

Because each napkin is hand-spun and hand-woven, you should expect slight variations in texture and weave. This is a hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship and adds to the unique character of each piece, though they are cut to a standard 40 cm x 40 cm size.

The hand-spun cotton is quite absorbent and durable, making these suitable for everyday use. They offer a substantial, natural feel that performs well during meals while maintaining a refined aesthetic.

The hand-printed designs are durable, but like all artisanal textiles, they may soften slightly with repeated laundering. To keep the prints vibrant for as long as possible, avoid harsh detergents and bleach, and wash them with like colors.

Absolutely. While they have a natural, artisanal quality that works beautifully for casual brunches, their refined weave and hand-finished details make them versatile enough to elevate a formal dinner setting as well.
