Product Insights
The Merlot Flowers Embroidered Napkin from Simons Maison offers affordable elegance for occasional use, combining vibrant, colorfast merlot polyester with durable machine embroidery that withstands repeated washing. Its fast-drying, wrinkle-resistant fabric enables same-day reuse without ironing, but the lack of a stain-resistant coating demands prompt spill blotting to prevent deep red wine stains, and the embroidery requires protective care—washing in a mesh bag, low-heat drying, and face-down ironing. The computer-driven pattern ensures consistency across napkins, making it a practical choice for those willing to trade effortless maintenance for ornate detail.
- Value
At $7.50 each, six napkins cost $45, an affordable set for occasional use.

The fabric is not treated with a stain-resistant coating. However, polyester is naturally more resistant to absorbing stains than natural fibers.
Is the fabric treated with any stain-resistant coating, or is it prone to absorbing red wine and other common dining stains?. Low heat drying and a mesh laundry bag protect the embroidery from puckering, and the machine-embroidered pattern is flat and tight, ensuring neat folding and storage. This combination of properties minimizes care effort and extends the napkin's usable life, effectively lowering the cost per use.
