Arcadia Linen Napkin

The Arcadia Linen Napkin in natural is a 50 x 50cm French linen napkin made from 100% European flax. The undyed tone suits almost any tableware you already own. Each napkin is sold on its own.

Natural is the safest of the colourways and the most useful. Because it is close to undyed flax, it sits with white china, stoneware, timber boards and coloured glass without anyone having to think about whether it works.

There is a practical argument for it too. Undyed linen shows marks less obviously than white and does not fade the way a strong colour eventually will, so a set bought now still matches a set bought in two years. The single hem stitch keeps the edge simple rather than decorative. Washing is what improves them, softening the weave and taking away the crispness that new linen arrives with, so do not be precious about using them on an ordinary Tuesday.
