Archive NY Flora Stripe Napkins | Handwoven Artisan Napkins from Guatemala
Table linens are rarely interesting unless someone went out of their way to make them so; the Flora Stripe Napkins do exactly that, turning an ordinary meal into something that almost feels like an event.
What It Is:
These ethically handwoven napkins feature stripes of light pink and kelly green, woven into a bold, eye-catching pattern that balances playful color with artisanal precision. Crafted in Xela, Guatemala, each napkin embodies the skill and care of artisans preserving weaving and dyeing techniques that might otherwise be lost to history. Durable, tactile, and unapologetically vibrant, they’re as functional as they are sculptural.
Why You’ll Actually Use It:
Because you’re tired of cloth that looks like it belongs in a catalogue and feels like paper. These napkins elevate breakfasts, dinners, and everything in between—making salad dressing spills feel almost poetic. They’re washable, reusable, and just fussy enough to make every meal feel intentional without being absurd.

About the brand: Archive NY
Archive NY is the kind of brand that makes you reconsider what it means to “own” anything at all. Founded in Brooklyn in 2014 and now based in Los Angeles, it’s a woman-led operation that treats traditional weaving and dyeing techniques like endangered languages: worth preserving, worth celebrating, and worth complicating with modern design sensibilities. By collaborating with artisans across Guatemala, Mexico, and India, Archive NY doesn’t just sell textiles—they broker a kind of cross-cultural conversation, turning everyday objects like napkins, throws, and table linens into evidence that craft, ethics, and style don’t have to be mutually exclusive. It’s conscientious capitalism wrapped in patterns that are just slightly too good to ignore.
