Our Eco Napkins - Blush Linen Napkins - Set of 6
These beautifully created napkins are just what you need to design the most elegant and effortless table setting. They’re also the most beautiful way to start introducing zero wast habits into your lifestyle…
The inspiration behind our eco napkins...
We were inspired by incredible and beautifully coloured rose petals and afternoon garden parties to create these delicate linen napkins. The inspiration for the blush colour palette came from the pretty and velvety roses that can be found in may gardens throughout the world and wonderful garden parties in the sunshine and fresh air are the reason why we wanted to start creating linen napkins.
When you look around these days at a party, at least 80% of what you see is probably disposable – plastic plates, plastic cutlery, plastic cups, plastic decorations, paper napkins, balloons etc. so it was our goal to change this “normal” approach to garden parties and celebrations by providing items that have been sustainably and ethically created and are made to last.

Our eco napkins - The story behind the art...
It’s no secret that consumerism around the world is becoming worse and worse by the second due to convenience and laziness and so by creating these organic linen napkins that are designed to last from one party to the next, we hope to encourage others to make more sustainable decisions no matter what the occasion. It may take a little more effort to wash a few napkins than it does to toss the disposable kind away but you’re going to save money in the long run, reduce the amount of waste that is heading to landfill, prevent additional trees from being chopped down and be able to enjoy using a luxuriously textured linen napkin rather than a scratchy paper one. Have we convinced you yet?
Wondering how our eco napkins are created?
Our botanically dyed textile collection has been created in a very unique way and our Blush Linen Napkins are no exception. For this design, we have used the natural dye from avocado seeds and skins (can you believe it creates this amazing pink colour?). We create the dye ourselves with avocado remnants that have been salvaged from our local cafés and restaurants. They save and wash the seeds for us and back in our workshop, we get to work to boil water for our dye creation. The seeds take quite a while to release their colour, but once its ready, we then soak our locally sourced organic linen and pieces of recycled fabric in the huge pot and leave them in there for an average of 12 hours. This length of time ensures that the colour bonds to the fabric and so that you receive the most beautiful and vibrant napkins possible. Once the fabric has finished soaking, we hang them on a line outside our workshop to naturally dry in the sunshine and breeze. From there, we take the fabric back into our workshop, cut it into the appropriately sized pieces and then use our sewing machine to hem the edges and bring the napkins to life.
Ethical shipping & packaging - From Sophia. to you...
After receiving your order for a beautiful set of these botanically dyed Blush Linen Napkins, we will carefully fold each one and bundle them together with a sparkling strand of recycled copper wire. Because of the soft nature of the fabric, they don’t need any additional protection (unlike our plates and notebooks so we place them directly into an envelope or box made from 100% recycled materials. We then use Sendle to deliver our parcels from our quaint workshop in Brisbane to your door.
Upon opening the parcel, you’ll also find that we’ve included an extra little gift as well as an invitation to join The Sophia. Sisterhood of Sustainability. The Sisterhood is a community we have created with inspiring women from around the world with the sole purpose of encouraging others to lead sustainable and ethical lifestyles. It’s free to join and as a member, you’ll have the chance to share your own knowledge and advice, enter exclusive eco competitions and become involved in our exciting events and projects.

The tally of how much rubbish has been removed so far is live on our home page and all data from the rubbish collection is submitted to the Clean Up Australia Day organisation to be officially recognised and to help tackle plastic pollution around Australia.
