Our linens are handmade: slight variations are natural and make each piece unique. Fine French table linens, hand-printed. Designed by Bruno Lamy exclusively for Couleur Nature. The art of hand-block printing is an intricate and extensive process with over 100 studied movements. In Jaipur, India, local craftsmen, who have preserved this ancient tradition for centuries, use hand-carved teakwood blocks to carefully apply layers of rich shades of dye reflecting the myriad of colors found in nature. Once all of the colors have been applied, the fabric is cut and stitched accordingly. Inherent to this artisan process, tones and finish vary, thereby guaranteeing a unique and beautiful collection of linens. Bring the romance of Southern France to your home with our richly colored, hand-printed 100 percent cotton linens. Linen actually benefits from frequent use, so don't hesitate to bring out your new runners for everyday occasions! All of our cotton and linen runners can be laundered at home. We recommend washing in cold water with regular detergent free of any bleach products. If stains are present on the linen, they should be treated immediately using a special linen stain remover. Stains on cotton runners may be treated with most off the shelf stain removers, however stay away from harsh solvents and bleaching products such as chlorine, peroxide or sodium carbonate. Cotton and linen runners may be dried in a machine dryer. We suggest removing while they are still slightly damp, giving them a good shake and laying flat. We love our napkins with a bit of body, but should you prefer to iron, do so immediately after drying for the best result.
