Citrus blue Set of 2 napkins

Citrus fruit brings to mind fresh summer tables at once. The napkin citrus blue takes a particularly fresh route, with a citrus print set against a calming blue ground.

Each piece is hand block-printed on cotton in artisan workshops in India, from a design created in France. Hand block printing here is a craft passed down through generations, and every print carries the small variations of the maker's hand that set an artisanal textile apart from an industrial one. The pattern was drawn with a fresh, Mediterranean spirit in mind.

Day to day, this napkin does what a good table napkin should. The cotton is soft and absorbent, sits well at each place setting, and holds up to repeated washing. With time it softens further, without losing its colour.

It travels well between settings too, since a good table napkin should never be limited to one occasion. Kept in a drawer alongside its matching pieces, it moves easily from a quick weekday lunch to a table set with a little more care, always ready without needing much thought.

The blue of this napkin brings freshness to a summer table. Folded simply by the plate or rolled into a wooden napkin ring, it evokes citrus groves in the South at once. It pairs naturally with white china, light wood and a jug of iced lemonade on the table.

Choosing the napkin citrus blue, you're choosing a versatile piece, useful and decorative, made to last.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves gourmet patterns and fresh colour. An artisanal napkin, vivid and durable, made to accompany everyday meals as well as long summer gatherings. Because a summer table deserves napkins as fresh as iced lemonade. Its cotton keeps its shape wash after wash, which matters for a piece meant to be used often rather than kept for show.
