ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
Experience the artistry of Ethiopian handloom traditions with these delicately embroidered cotton dinner napkins. Each piece showcases centuries-old weaving techniques passed down through generations, creating timeless designs that bring cultural charm to your table. The maker uses 100% cotton dyed with low-impact, AZO-free, REACH certified reactive dyes for pure, safe materials.
Crafted entirely by hand from thread spinning to final weaving, these 19" x 19" napkins reflect the skill of rural Ethiopian artisans. Hand spinning is passed from mother to daughter, while weaving traditions flow from father to son, honoring ancestral craft methods. As with all handwoven textiles, slight variations make each piece a unique work of art.
These napkins transform everyday dining into memorable moments while supporting fair trade practices and sustainable work opportunities. Perfect for conscious hosts who value authentic craftsmanship and meaningful table settings that tell a story of tradition and ethical sourcing.

SLATE + SALT was founded by Lyndsay, an avid traveler who felt the need to share her stories and finds with the world. Through extensive travel to developing countries, she fell in love with the people, the cultures and the craftsmanship of pieces that apply traditional techniques to modern designs. She recognized the beauty of traditional craftsmanship over goods mass produced in factories, and saw a chance to give artisans in rural villages a worldwide customer base.
Through frequent trips and partnerships with Fair Trade cooperatives, Lyndsay fosters relationships that bring ever changing designs to globally minded nomads. SLATE + SALT says it works closely with small social enterprises to create dignified work in areas of extreme poverty, helping rural artisans support their families and stay in their own communities.
The company's mission is to share modern, one of a kind pieces while preserving traditional techniques. SLATE + SALT says its pieces are handmade and hand dyed, so each one is special and slight variations occur.
