Ethical Materials & Batik Process

The distinct dark brown swirl pattern is applied using a traditional wax-resist batik dyeing method, giving every single piece its own subtle, organic variation in tone and texture.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

To maintain the strength and natural finish of your bone napkin rings:

• Wipe Clean Only: Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove light dust or spills.

• Keep Dry: Do not submerge in water or soak, as prolonged moisture can alter the natural bone and batik dye.

• Never Dishwash: Keep away from dishwashers and harsh chemical cleaners.

• Condition Periodically: Rub lightly with a drop of coconut oil or mineral oil on a soft cloth to maintain its natural luster.
