Overview

Havana is a faux burlap woven from 100% polyester, engineered to deliver the look of natural jute without its care limitations. The realistic linen-weave texture supports rustic and farmhouse aesthetics while performing like a standard polyester rental linen. Seamless and reversible up to 118 inches, it adapts easily to larger table formats.

Operational Specs

Notes for Operators

Havana serves as the practical alternative when clients request burlap. It delivers a similar rustic aesthetic while remaining fully compatible with commercial laundering. Operators avoid shedding, odor retention, and limited-use concerns associated with natural jute. Many position Havana as a structured rental option for rustic programs rather than a consumable specialty item. The expanded color range also allows rustic looks beyond traditional neutrals, supporting seasonal rotations and coordinated palettes without adding fragile inventory.

Care & Processing Guidance

Compatible with standard commercial wash systems.

Havana processes like a standard polyester linen. The textured weave may require slightly more controlled finishing to maintain the hand, but overall it fits into existing wash programs without special chemistry or separate loads.

General guidance:

• Machine wash warm (105°F). Avoid aggressive agitation to preserve texture.
• Tumble dry low or process through flatwork ironer. Havana's heavier construction may require slower feed speed or modest temperature adjustment at the ironer. Allow fabric to fully relax before pressing, and use controlled finishing to maintain the woven texture.
• Bleach when needed — chlorine for whites, oxygen for colors.
