Christopher Collection Jardin Linen Cocktail Napkin

The 6 x 9-inch oblong shape offers a more elongated, sophisticated profile compared to traditional square napkins. This silhouette works particularly well when draped over the edge of a cocktail glass or placed alongside a hors d'oeuvre plate, providing a more intentional, curated look.

Because these napkins feature delicate hand-embroidered French knots, we recommend hand washing in cool water with a gentle detergent to preserve the integrity of the embroidery. If you must machine wash, use a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag and lay flat to dry.

The white-on-white finish creates a subtle, monochromatic texture where the embroidery is visible primarily through the raised detail of the French knots rather than a color contrast. It offers a clean, understated elegance that complements any glassware or table setting without competing with other decor.

Like all high-quality pure linen, these napkins will develop natural creases with use, which is part of the fabric's inherent charm. To keep them looking crisp, we recommend ironing them while slightly damp or using a light steam setting.

Yes, pure Italian linen is naturally absorbent and durable. While they are designed primarily for cocktail service and appetizers, they handle condensation from glassware effectively while maintaining a refined appearance.
