Please use the linen napkin.
Our best selling linen napkins with matching bow sets in Oat.
For the most part, linen napkins may be considered an indulgence, a fancy addition to the table, or simply to drape over one’s knee and nothing more than that - heaven forbid you leave a mark on one. However, just like keeping one’s best clothes for special occasions, we need to address that mindset.
Every day should be treated as a special occasion, and those little extras can help to upscale a table setting and bolster the feeling of abundance we all look for. The fear of using a linen napkin should be diminished, by the simple fact alone that the more linen is washed, the softer, more textural and generally lovlier, it will become.
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.
Softness:
Despite its durability, linen is surprisingly soft to the touch, making linen napkins a comfortable option for your family members or guests.
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.
