The inspiration behind our sustainable textiles...
Just like our smaller set of Blush Linen Napkins, we were inspired by rose gardens filled with fresh blooms and lively garden party celebrations. You may be wondering how either of these two things relate to linen napkins but the roses and their blush coloured, velvety petals were the inspiration for our colour palette and backyard garden parties were the reason why we wanted to create the linen napkins and to be able to fill a gap within the zero waste market.
If you’ve ever hosted a party, you’ll already know how much waste is create in the form of disposable cups, plates, napkins, cutlery and decorations and so we were inspired to change this “normal” approach to partying by providing our community with beautiful options that prevent waste from being created and sent to landfill and by avoiding excess carbon emissions from being produced…

Our sustainable textiles - The story behind the art...
We’ve started to bring together a collection of sustainably and ethically crafted items which have been designed specifically for entertaining guests, hosting celebrations, venturing out on picnics and organising garden parties. The purpose of this collection is to inspire the Sophia. community and wider Australian community to incorporate zero waste aspects into their lifestyles without skimping on beauty or luxury.
These blush coloured napkins are one of the ways we are helping to reduce waste and landfill while supporting sustainable and ethical design and providing solutions to parties and celebrations that would otherwise be replaced by a disposable option. We can’t wait to see the impact you can make by using these linen napkins instead of paper ones at your next party!

Wondering how our sustainable textiles are created?
To begin creating our Blush Linen Napkins, we first have to create our own natural and botanical dye. We do this by sourcing avocado seeds and skins from our local cafes and restaurants (they save them for us and this prevents excess waste from ending up in landfill) and taking them back to our workshop. We bring the ingredients to the boil to allow the colour to seep out and then soak our organic linen and 100% recycled fabric in the dye for around 12 hours. This allows the pink colour to bond properly to the fabric and creates a wonderful shade of blush especially for your napkins.
Once the soaking is complete, we hang the pieces of fabric outside our workshop so that they are able to dry in the sunshine and cool breeze and then bring them back inside once they are fully dry. We then compost the remnants of avocado and use the naturally dyed water to water the trees around our workshop so that no waste is created throughout the entire process. Inside our workshop, we then use our sewing machine to carefully hem the edges and bring the finishing touches to your sustainable and ethical napkins. We also only create small batches of botanically dyed fabric at a time so that we are using limited resources and only creating what is needed.

Ethical shipping & packaging - From Sophia. to you...
Although each of our homewares, stationery and giftware items are designed and created sustainably and ethically, it is also so important to us that our packaging and shipping methods align with our mission to give back to the environment and community. This is ensured by beautifully bundling our napkins together with a single strand of recycled copper wire and then placing inside either and envelope or box which is made from 100% recycled materials. To make your order even more special, we also include a special little gift just for you and an invitation to become part of our exclusive and exciting Sisterhood of Sustainability.
To find out more about this inspiring and empowering community, have a close look at your invitation once it arrives or keep reading below. To further reduce our impact on the planet, we also remove 100 pieces of rubbish from Australian lands and waterways on your behalf and plant one native tree for every shipment to help reforest areas for Australian wildlife.
