Ivory Cotton Napkins - Sri Lanka

Artisan: Barefoot
Sold in sets of four, these ivory-coloured hand-woven cotton-twill napkins are hand-dyed and finished with an elegant Italian hem stitch. They are a thoughtful hostess gift or the perfect way to dress up any tabletop.

The strong and vibrant colours are a reflection Sri Lankan culture and heritage.
• Dimensions: 45cm x 45cm.
