Please use the linen napkin.

Our best selling linen napkins with matching bow sets in Oat.

For many, linen napkins are seen as an indulgence - a refined addition to the table, or something simply meant to drape over one’s knee, never truly used for fear of leaving a mark. But, much like saving our best clothes for special occasions, perhaps it’s time to rethink that mindset.

Every day is worthy of a little ceremony. Those small details - a neatly folded napkin, the soft texture of linen - can elevate a table setting and nurture that quiet sense of abundance we all seek. And truly, linen only improves with use; with every wash, it softens, gains texture, and becomes lovelier still. If that’s not enough, I’ve listed some more reasons to use the linen napkin:

Absorbency:

Linen can effectively absorb moisture, making it a practical choice for wiping hands and mouths during a meal. This is especially important in formal dining, where guests may be served multiple courses, or if children are eating.

Durability:

Linen is a naturally durable fabric that can withstand frequent use and washing. 100% linen napkins will maintain their appearance over time, ensuring that they remain a reliable and long-lasting addition to your table settings or casual lunches at home.

Environmental Benefits:

Linen is a natural and sustainable fibre made from the flax plant. It’s fully biodegradable and can be reused many times, so it’s the perfect choice for those with eco concerns at home.

Styling:

If you enjoy table-scaping, linen napkins are just right to be styled or folded in various creative ways to add a personal and decorative touch to the table setting. I love to fold napkins seasonally and enjoy fun and creative ways in which they can be used to dress the table. For example, bunny ear napkins for Easter.

Traditional and Timeless:

Linen has a timeless quality, and for this reason, it has been used for centuries in table settings and is associated with traditional elegance and refinement.

Temperature Regulation:

Linen has natural insulating properties, helping to keep hands comfortable regardless of the temperature. This can be especially beneficial in situations where hot or cold foods are being served.

And finally,

The use of linen napkins is a conscious choice that goes beyond mere functionality. It is about creating a visually appealing, comfortable, and environmentally friendly dining experience that aligns with a sense of elegance and tradition.
