Product is advertised as cotton. Tag says 80 polyester, 20 cotton. If linen or cotton, it would absorb water. This repels water. No absorption at all. Beautiful and well made, though. If you are looking for decorative napkins instead of functional napkins, these are great!

Great napkin set - work perfectly with our new placemats!

Love these napkins. 4 stars instead of 5 because one has already faded slightly.

These are quite nice looking, like the image listed. They are slightly sheer unfolded and the color is good. Being linen they do wrinkle really easily so when washed they don't get folded back to perfectly smooth like they came, unless you iron.

The color is just what I was looking for however, the fabric is very thin and may tear if washed.
