Not just table accessory but a symbol of care, fabric napkins are old school hospitality at its best. The Matsya napkin is made with finely woven handloom linen and with minimal embellishments instead focussing on the simple ornamentation of the ‘Turpai’ or hand-hemming. Turpai is a precise art, done using a thin small needle, and drawing minute, almost invisible, dense stitches that hold the fold of the fabric in place.

These efforts are rendered visible by using a contrasting thread colour, that show up as tiny dots of colour. The Matsya napkins are effortlessly chic and pair perfectly with the Matsya tablecloth and placemats however one can never really go wrong with crisp white linen.
