STORY
Make every meal a celebration with 100% cotton block printed Green Bounty Cloth Napkins. Each napkin is one-of-a-kind because they are block printed by hand by artisans with Asha in India. Block printing is a heritage craft, a multi-step process that includes mixing natural dyes, sketching designs, then carving these intricate patterns into thick wood blocks, a separate block for each color in the design. This is all before the textile is woven, often by hand, washed, sun-dried, then prepped for printing. Which is done by the steadiest of hands, repeating the pattern over swaths of cloth draped over long tables. It’s an ancient technique carried on by artisans who handcraft these stunning one-of-a-kind pieces. When you hold one, you can feel the richness of its story and how it was made.
