Topha napkins

If you've ever wanted napkins that make you feel like you're dining at the home of someone who actually has their life together, these are for you. Each set of four is hand-printed using a carved wooden block on organic cotton that was woven by people who clearly have more patience than most of us. Then they're dipped in natural dyes, which means no two napkins are exactly alike - a polite way of saying the terracotta color varies slightly depending on the napkin's mood that day. At 19" x 19", they're substantial enough to actually catch something, and the organic cotton is soft enough that you won't feel like you're wiping your face with a dish towel from 1987. Just treat them with a modicum of respect: cold water, gentle cycle, no bleach, and watch for color bleeding in the first few washes. Dry flat, iron if you're feeling ambitious. They're handmade, which means they're beautiful and slightly unpredictable - much like dinner guests, really.
