Begonia Striped Paper Napkins Pack of 20 - Multi

These are square paper napkins, 33cm long and 33cm wide, sold in a pack of 20. Each one is printed with loose, painterly stripes that run across it, a gently curving line of lettering that reads 'food brings people together', and a small fork motif with one stripe threaded through its tines, a little joke that rewards a second look at the table. Open one out fully and you will find each quarter printed with its stripe in a different shade, so the face that ends up on top depends on how you fold it.

They are made for the table and approved for contact with food, so they can sit beside the plate, wrap a sandwich for a picnic or line a basket of warm bread rolls. At 33cm by 33cm there is enough paper to wipe hands after a weekday supper, a buffet lunch or a garden party, and the printed line about food suits a birthday meal or a family gathering where the company is the point. We like keeping a pack in the kitchen drawer for the afternoon when friends call round for coffee and cake, or for a busy party table where cloth napkins would never survive.

The napkins are paper, with a fine embossed pattern pressed into the surface between the stripes. As paper napkins they are meant for one use rather than the wash, which is exactly why they earn a place on the messier occasions. For a relaxed table, fold each one into a triangle and tuck it under the fork, or fan a loose stack beside the bread so guests can help themselves; the stripes look best against a plain plate or a bare wooden table, and mixing the folded faces gives a laid table some easy variety.
