The benefits of using cloth napkins
No matter what kind of event you’re hosting, cloth napkins are an easy way to bring a touch of class, comfort and sophistication to the table. As a soft and luxurious fabric, cloth is the natural choice for more formal events like weddings or award ceremonies. Cloth napkins are also highly flexible and come in a variety of colours and weaves - so you can always use them to make an impression at more casual gatherings too.
Cloth napkins come in a range of colours
Like most fabric decorations, cloth napkins come in a variety of shades and colours. These range from the natural ‘raw’ linen look, perfect for a rustic affair that evokes simple pleasures, all the way to brilliant white, perfect for a more formal and sophisticated affair.
Cloth napkins can be folded in creative ways
One of the strongest traits of the fabric napkin is its balance of flexibility and hold. You can fold cloth napkins in any number of ways, whether you’re going for something gorgeous to behold like an elegant knot to symbolise your vows, or a neat bundle to hold your guest’s menus and cutlery.
Cloth is soft and comfortable to use
While cloth has the visual edge over paper napkin alternatives, it’s also generally quite a soft option. Ultimately, this is what makes cloth so comfortable and luxurious to use, while still being absorbent.
Aside from the obvious stylistic benefits of using cloth napkins, there are also plenty of other good reasons to opt for cloth.
Cloth napkins are more sustainable
Whether you compare fabric napkins to paper, cloth is much better for the environment. This is because cloth napkins don’t rely on logging to provide its raw materials.

While some fabric weaves can be delicate, with proper care they can be washed and reused, time and time again. You could even wash and use them to jazz up your home dining table.
Best of all, most cloth products get softer after every wash - making them even more luxurious to use over time.
Different types of cloth napkins
Cloth napkins come in a variety of styles and kinds, from different fabric blends, to thin or thick weave. So picking out the right type for your event may take some careful consideration.
