What is it about linen that makes it such a timeless gift?
Unwrapping a set of new table linen feels like unwrapping a promise of future gatherings, spending time together, breaking bread and spilling tea. What can be better than gifting someone with a perfectly sized tablecloth or a set of beautifully soft napkins that will last for many years to come, that will spark a conversation, a cheers or two, and hopefully encourage all to linger a little longer?
At Sixteen we understand that gatherings around the table are rituals we cherish. That’s why our heirloom linens are made to last lifetimes. There’s a reason why linen is the only choice of fabric when it comes to tablecloths and napkins. The long natural fibres of linen are strong and wash well, release stains easily and don’t lose their shape. Not only is linen a naturally sustainable fabric, but the drape and weight of pure linen adds instant glamour to any table setting. Pure linen is also extremely soft and plush to the touch, adding an extra sensory delight to any meal.
What makes Sixteen linen a cut above the rest?
Sixteen is a specialist table linen business – we offer the world’s finest, beautifully stitched table linen to South African homes and hotels. When you touch our linens, you can immediately feel the difference and understand why we are so passionate about what we do. One touch is all it takes to make abundantly clear why pure flax linen tablecloths and napkins are infinitely better than their blended linen or cotton counterparts.
Our suppliers of flax are based in Europe where they have been working with flax for centuries. Their skills and craftsmanship have been passed down through the generations. The making of linen is central to their lives– there is nothing they do not know about linen and they have taught us so much.
Our colourways are what set us apart, too. Whether you prefer softer neutrals like Biscuit, Fresh Cream and Candlestick White, or bright pops of colour like Pomegranate and Dark Olive, our sensuous colourways are deep dyed and finished with a fastener to ensure they stay bright.
Our Country Collection of checked napkins is a fan favourite. We chalk it up to their versatility (they pair with just about anything) and elegant nod to picnic-core. As with all our napkins, they’re pre-washed for extra softness and detailed with elegant mitred edging and a generous hem.
Give the gift of fine quality Sixteen table linen this Christmas and you’ll be giving them an heirloom to treasure for years to come. Think of the memories that could be made over every careful thread. Beautiful.
