Light Blue Cloth Napkins - Set of 4

Passion Lilie is a New Orleans-based brand that works with artisan cooperatives in India to make its textiles. The pieces are created using traditional hand block printing and ikat handweaving, with natural and non-toxic dyes, in small batches.

Passion Lilie is a member of the Fair Trade Federation, and its makers are paid fair wages and work in safe conditions. Many pieces are made from leftover production fabric to cut waste, and because each one is printed or woven by hand, slight variations are part of its character.

Q: How do these compare to paper napkins for the environment?
A: Cloth napkins eliminate paper waste entirely and can be used for years, making them far more sustainable than disposable options.

A: At 17 x 17 inches, these napkins provide generous coverage suitable for both lunch and dinner settings.

Q: How do fair trade practices benefit the makers?
A: Fair trade ensures the artisans receive living wages, work in safe conditions, and have access to community development opportunities.

Q: Do handwoven napkins require special care?
A: No special care needed - simply machine wash cold and tumble dry low like regular cotton linens.

Q: Why might each napkin look slightly different?
A: Handweaving and hand-dyeing create natural variations that make each piece unique, celebrating the human touch in creation.
