White Cotton Table Linen — Tablecloths, Napkins & Runners
White cotton table linen, designed and made in Italy — tablecloths, napkins, placemats and runners in a heavy, soft cotton that dresses the table for an everyday meal or a full table of guests. The Vela line is woven for people who love the look of a crisp white table but prefer the softness of cotton to the crispness of linen. Mix and match across the range to set the table your way.
Heavy Cotton, Softly Finished
Vela is woven from a heavyweight cotton with a soft, substantial hand. Each piece is finished with a clean stitched hem on every side, so it falls neatly and launders well. White cotton is the most versatile table colour there is — it suits any china, any season, and any occasion, and it only grows softer with each wash.
A Coordinated Table
The collection is built to layer. Lay a runner down the centre of a bare table, frame each setting with placemats, fold napkins by the plate, or dress the whole table with a cotton tablecloth in the size that fits your gathering. Because every piece is cut from the same cloth, they sit together effortlessly — an easy way to build a complete, considered table over time.
Made in Italy, Made to Last
Designed and produced in Italy in natural fibres, with OEKO-TEX-certified finishing and plastic-free packaging. This is everyday table linen made properly — chosen for how it behaves and how it ages, not just how it looks on day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I wash white cotton tablecloths and napkins?
Machine wash at 40°C with similar colours, then iron while slightly damp for a crisp finish. White cotton holds its colour well and softens with every wash.
What size cotton tablecloth do I need?
As a guide, a 150 × 180 cm cloth seats 4 to 6, 150 × 250 cm seats 6 to 8, and 180 × 320 cm seats 8 to 10. Allow a drop of around 20–30 cm over the table edge.
Why choose cotton over linen for the table?
Cotton is softer and more relaxed underhand than linen, with the same clean white look. It is easy to launder, hard-wearing, and a natural choice for everyday meals as well as occasions.
Can I mix the pieces?
Yes — runner, placemats, napkins and tablecloths are all woven from the same white cotton, so they coordinate by design.
