Item Description

6 Dark Blue Linen Napkins made by Vaxbo Lin in Sweden
"What a difference such a small item can make to the overall picture! A linen napkin gives a silver lining to everyday life and the finishing touch to a festive dinner table. A napkin can match the colours of your tablecloth, glassware or china, thus creating a classic, sober impression. It can also be used as a contrasting accent for a more vibrant, exciting effect. This is why our specially designed linen napkins come in the same range of colours as our other products but also in contrasting colours."

Design: Ingela Berntsson

Size: 50 cm x 50 cm / 19.7" x 19.7"

Note: 2 napkins in each wrapping. 1 set without paper wrapping (total sets: 3)

Item Special Note

"Made in Sweden

It is with pride that we work to preserve and develop Swedish cultural heritage. Växbo Lin started in 1990, in the same place where linen have been produced for centuries. It was a crazy project, to build a new factory when most of the Swedish industry began to move their production to countries with cheaper labor. For us it is important that the Swedish industry survives so that jobs and knowledge can be preserved. We weave and sew our linen products in our factory in Hälsingland, literally weaving together established handicraft traditions with modern design. We are convinced that we need to consume fewer but better things. Our contribution is products in pure linen, a natural material that will last for generations.
