Eastmere Handloom Dinner Napkins

The Eastmere Handloom Dinner Napkins – Set of Two

An understated finishing touch for a thoughtfully collected table.

The Eastmere Dinner Napkins bring together traditional Ethiopian handloom weaving and delicate embroidery in a design that feels both relaxed and refined.

Made from 100% cotton, each napkin has the natural character of a handwoven textile, with subtle variations that reflect the work involved in its creation. The embroidered detailing adds a quiet decorative element without overwhelming the table.

Equally at home at a casual afternoon lunch or a dinner with friends, these are pieces intended to be used, enjoyed, and brought out again.

Artisan Profile

Handwoven in Ethiopia, these napkins reflect a textile tradition built on skilled hand spinning and weaving.

The Addis Ababa artisan group works to support ethical and sustainable employment opportunities while preserving traditional weaving practices. Their production process incorporates hand-spun cotton thread sourced from women within the surrounding communities, providing opportunities for supplemental income.

From the preparation of the cotton to the weaving of the fabric, the process emphasizes the skill and individual attention involved in creating textiles by hand.

The Brindle Note:  We love a beautifully set table, but not one that feels too precious to use. A little texture, thoughtful detailing, and pieces that work just as well for Tuesday dinner as they do for Saturday guests. That’s our kind of entertaining.
