Oh! Stripes Multi-coloured Napkins (Set of 4)
Napkins are usually just utility, but the Oh! Stripes Multi-Coloured Napkins turn wiping your hands into a minor act of style and surprise.
What They Are:
A set of four 18" x 18" cotton napkins, hand-block printed in India with multi-colored stripes on a light beige base. Each napkin is individually stamped using carved wooden blocks and organic, azo-free dyes, so no two are exactly the same. These are the napkins that could exist in a Wes Anderson table scene or on your Monday night takeout setup and somehow feel equally correct.
Why You’ll Actually Use Them:
Because they turn the simple act of wiping your hands into something vaguely aspirational. Casual brunch? They make it look curated. Family dinner? They make it look intentional. Spill your drink on one? Congratulations, it’s now a new abstract pattern you can call “postmodern minimalism.” These napkins are functional, stylish, and subtly remind you that even domestic life can be performative without being performative.

Impact:

Four hand-blocked cotton napkins that make meals feel curated, colorful, and vaguely cinematic.
About the brand: Powered by People
Powered by People is basically what happens when “shopping small” gets a global operating system. Instead of mass-produced sameness, they connect you with makers who are spinning out hand-dyed textiles, hand-thrown ceramics, and jewelry that feels like it was pulled from an alternate reality where craftsmanship never went out of style. The through-line isn’t just aesthetics—it’s the insistence that every object has both utility and a backstory, often rooted in sustainable practices, reclaimed materials, and cultural traditions that would otherwise get bulldozed by the modern marketplace. In short: they’re trying to prove that conscious consumption doesn’t have to look like homework.
