Lola Plaid Party Napkins | Set of 4

CLASSIFICATION: Hand-Woven Service Textile PROVENANCE: Xela, Guatemala PALETTE: Emerald | Royal Blue | Peach | Blush CONFIGURATION: Set of Four ROLE: The Chromatic Coaster

A paper napkin is a disposable admission of failure. It dissolves under a cold glass and offers zero tactile pleasure. The 'Lola' linen is the corrective measure.

Meticulously handwoven in Xela, Guatemala, these napkins scale down the aggressive, beautiful tension of the 'Lola' plaid into a handheld format. They interlock soft shades of Blush Pink and Warm Peach with the hard, regal authority of Emerald Green and Royal Blue.

It is a woven contradiction—simultaneously gentle and aggressive—that serves as the ideal aesthetic anchor for a cocktail. It provides the necessary friction to keep a highball glass secure while adding a "glitch" of vibrant color to the table.

THE CURATOR'S NOTES

• The "Party" Scale: Critical. These are not lap-sized dinner napkins. They are scaled specifically for the hand—designed to wrap the base of a cold drink or cradle a hors d'oeuvre. They are tools for standing, social interaction.
• The Palette Strategy: The high-contrast mix of Emerald and Peach makes these versatile. They work equally well at a summer garden party (pulling the warm tones) or a moody winter gathering (pulling the cool jewel tones).
• Textural Grip: The raw fringe is functional. It breaks up the hard edge of the fabric and provides tactile grip, ensuring the napkin doesn't slide off a slick surface.
• Maintenance: These are built on a footloom. The weave is dense and structural. They are designed to be washed, dried, and reused indefinitely, softening with every cycle.
