Lin Lavé Napkins, Set of Four

Stonewashed European flax, cut generously at 45 cm so a napkin actually covers a lap. Washed before it reaches you, so it arrives soft and will not shrink further.

• Size 45 × 45 cm each, set of four
• Material 100% European flax linen, 165 gsm, stonewashed
• Flax grown in Normandy and Belgium
• Woven and cut in Porto, Portugal
• Wash 30°C gentle, no bleach, no fabric softener

Skip the softener — it coats the fibre and stops linen absorbing, which is the entire point of a linen napkin. It softens for about ten washes and then settles.
