Description

A beautiful blank canvas for the table - a pure white linen napkin, made to match the Broderie Anglaise tablecloth. A way to bring your own sense of colour and character to your table setting. Or, for those times when you want something simple, classic and timeless.

The collection is designed in collaboration with Hunter Saxony III, a Rhode Island-born, San Francisco based Ornamental Calligrapher. With a lifelong penchant for written words and mark-making as a way of storytelling, Hunter's work employs shape, form and text to explore themes of love and self-discovery.

Care Instructions

Wash at up to 60 degrees on a regular cycle (avoid “eco” or longer cycles). Never soak for longer than 10 minutes and avoid using Vanish and other whitening products. Tumble dry at 70 degrees for a soft effect, and 90 degrees for a more crushed finish. We don't recommend ironing the full cloth in order to keep the linen’s lovely crumpled texture intact, but we do like to iron the edges to give it a sharper edge.

About Us

Founded by June Summerill and Bernadette Bishop, two great friends with a truly effortless and unique sense of style, Summerill & Bishop first opened its doors on 18th May, 1994 in Holland Park, and has remained on the same quiet, leafy corner of Clarendon Cross ever since.

Fantastic home cooks and entertainers both, June and Bernadette were frustrated with the offerings at most kitchen and tableware shops at the time, and with the lack of personality and intimacy, so they decided to create one of their own, where beauty and functionality would both be key.

To commemorate Bernadette's passing, S&B trademarked her signature flower design and designed a beautiful line of linens which launched in Sept 2015. And that is how S&B decided to focus on table linen - the fabric of life.

At Summerill & Bishop we believe that if people take the time to lay the table and present a meal beautifully, they'll enjoy it all the more and create a lasting memory for those who share it with them.

For us, laying the table is an art form that we can all master at home and is one of the simplest ways to tell someone what they mean to you. The table isn't just a place to pass food, you pass tradition, memory, and love, too. Read our full story here...

The story

This collaboration collection elevates the archetypal elegance of Broderie Anglaise. By merging its sense of purity and calm with a distinct edge that only S&B could execute, the design goes beyond the surface of a classic Broderie Anglaise; every detail and punctuation in the embroidery is inspired by Hunter Saxony III and his creative process. Describing calligraphy like a dance, a waltz of hand, as pen glides upon paper, Hunter was inspired in equal part by a love of ambient jazz and the low-lying fog that covers San Francisco Bay, his adopted home. His goal is to make work that lives on and impacts long after he has stopped making, a sentiment which aligns perfectly with the S&B ethos, that table linens are modern day heirlooms to cherish now and pass down to the next generation.
