Cloth & Linen Napkins

"Cloth napkins" is the general term for any reusable fabric napkin, while linen napkins specifically use natural flax fibres for a more textured, premium look and feel. Our range covers both: budget-friendly polyester cloth napkins for everyday events, and richer linen-blend options for upscale weddings. If you want something a step above our standard cloth range, take a look at our premium linen & cloth napkins collection.

Cloth napkins hold their shape far better than paper when paired with a napkin ring, so you can fold, roll, or fan the fabric and simply slide the ring over the centre to hold it in place. It's one of the easiest ways to add a polished, styled look to a table without much effort. Explore our napkin rings range to find a style that suits your napkin colour and event theme.

Simple folds like the classic rectangle or pocket fold work best for cloth napkins, since the fabric holds a crease better than paper. For a more elevated look, a French pleat or fan fold pairs beautifully with a napkin ring. Once you've picked a fold, coordinating tableware pulls the whole setting together. Browse our charger plates & dinner plate sets for options that complement your napkin colour.

A simple pocket or envelope fold works well for cloth napkins, since the fabric is sturdy enough to hold cutlery in place without slipping. Fold the napkin in half, tuck in the sides to form a pocket, and slide the knife, fork, and spoon inside before placing it at each setting. It's a neat way to combine your napkins with the rest of the table setup. Check out our cutlery & serving range if you need matching flatware to go with it.

Our standard cloth napkins are 50x50cm, a generous, restaurant-quality size for dinner settings, with the option to order extra as spares for larger events. As a rule of thumb, order one napkin per guest plus a small buffer for any last-minute additions. To complete the table, check your linen sizing against our tablecloths collection so everything is proportioned correctly.
