These linen napkins are useful in so many ways. We use them to replace all our paper napkins (don’t forget to carry them with you on the go), at picnics for laying out goods and to replace all the single-use, and at the table for styling, events, garden picnics, and as placemats for dinner and for the kids when eating.

They are crafted with a beautiful, neat edging and luxury, lived-in look. They have been sewn so they look perfect on both sides. They’re nice and large perfect for table-use and folding and double as placemats.
They are ethically handmade at our little studio in rural Cambodia from recovered linens redirected from landfill and are label-free for table styling in mind when the ocassion calls (and it makes it a little kinder on your skin too).
They are available in sets of two and four.
Size: 40cm x 40cm

Fabric
Our linen napkins are made from recycled linens. Our fabric is redirected from landfill in order to reduce our environmental impact. Instead of using new (virgin) materials, we collect fabrics that would otherwise have been burned or found their way to landfill. New materials take an enormous amount of resources to produce so we prefer to use fabrics that are already in existence and would have gone to waste. These fabrics exist from an over-supply to businesses, wrong orders, unused due to changes etc. We collect these and use them for our products.
