5 out of 5 starsThey’re phenomenal. Well made and super soft. I’m excited to see how well they hold up under heavy use! We’re using in the bathroom and with the baby. They are the first and only cloth where my baby doesn’t scream bloody murder when wiping her face off - 100% recommend!

5 out of 5 starsBought a set of these in the past and loved them so much I had to add more to my collection. My first set still look brand new after 2 years of wear and wash. Love them so much.

5 out of 5 starsRecently purchased this set of Facial Cloths, some dark grey Cloth Wipes (I bought to use as dinner napkins, but will be using them as family cloth wipes instead as they were too small for dinner napkins). Donna, the owner sent me a couple of Napkins as samples, I will be buying those from her for the napkin purpose. I also got a set of owl print cloths, those were to be used for facial napkins, they work for that purpose, but even though they’re one ply, they’re very thick and I think will be better used as family cloth wipes. The Facial Cloths I got in campfire and coordinating colors, was my favorite. They are just the right size for use as facial tissue replacements, and they’re not too thick as the others were. *Please note, Donna, the owner, suggested I use the other cloths as they were labeled. She was right! Very pleased

About TheSimpleArtisan
It is our goal to provide the finest quality items, paying great attention to detail with the least environmental impact.
Offering a variety of quality, handmade items made mostly with natural, organic materials.
I most recently am concentrating on creating products that are reusable and as close to zero waste as possible for the home; helping people to reduce or eliminate paper products and the cycle of “purchase/used/throw away/repeat”.
I do some collaboration pieces with Ariel, from NewspaperBalloon. Her designs are featured on the exclusive fabrics that I use in my shop for nursery items. With our combined talents, we are able to offer both custom designs and custom made items for your nursery, newborn and toddler needs.
I love bags--I can't get enough--so, don't be surprised if you see some one of a kind bags in the shop from time to time made with re-purposed leathers, oil canvas and cottons.
The possibilities are endless, you never know what you will find here!
We appreciate your visit to our shop and since you took the time to read about us, you deserve a reward! Use 10OFF1ST as a coupon code at checkout today and score 10% off your first purchase! (Coupon valid for one initial purchase per person)

Ariel illustrates the original designs, which are then sent to a fabric printer where the custom fabics are produced, then with that fabric I create custom clothing and nursery items.

Vintage Items:
Vintage items have been used and loved…most often discovered carefully stored away in an out of the way closet for many years. It is not uncommon for pieces to show some signs of wear. I carefully inspect each piece to make sure that you get the most accurate and informed description possible. All items are sold as is – so please ask any necessary questions prior to purchasing. If a flaw accidently escapes my inspection, please let me know as soon as possible (and before leaving feedback!) and I will be happy to help remedy the situation. My wish is that you love your vintage item as much as its original owner!
Guide to Condition of Vintage Items:
Mint: Beautiful and perfect. Possibly never used.
Excellent: Little visible wear, lightly used.
Very Good: Normal wear for the age of the item. A few minor visible problems that will not detract from the overall look of the piece.
Good: A few obvious visible flaws.
