Set the tone for holiday gatherings with our timeless tablescape, which is hand dyed and handcrafted by artisans in India using natural ingredients.
The fabric is hand-dyed napkins made by the Chicago-based ethical brand TerraKlay. The napkins are so lovely that they can double as both the gift and the packaging. And, of course, as reusable napkins for adorning a festive holiday table. They sell sets of six different colors of Geetha Shibori Dyed Cotton Napkins, four of which we used in this post.
Continue reading to see how our colorful tablescape turned out, and then follow us on Instagram to enter to win a set of TerraKlay napkins and a banana fiber table runner for your own table.
The striking table runner we used is actually two-sided! It’s the Chechi Runner in Pink, another entertaining essential that comes in seven hues.
The jute placemats are from fair trade decor brand Will + Atlas, and truly fit any vibe such as this more formal Friendsgiving spread. TerraKlay offers a similar design made of upcycled banana fibers.

Back to the napkins. The Shibori dyed patterns on them are really lovely, and are more beautiful in-person versus photos. TerraKlay’s textiles and decor are made by people, not factories, in India, who have been working in their craft for generations. They also partner with young adults to support their vocational education. Learn more about their team and founder Manvee Vaid here.
Pro tip: Tie scrap ribbon from your holiday gift wrapping around your napkins for cute bow “rings” that make each place setting look like a present!
Here’s a close up of the four napkin colors on the pink runner showing the richness of the dye.
What do your holiday tables look like? Do you go for traditional seasonal colors or something more surprising?
If you’re considering a zero waste swap for the new year, ditch the paper towels for a good set of cotton or linen napkins. Not only does it reduce waste, but meals feel just a bit fancier because of it!
Shop at terraklay.com and be sure to head over to Insta for a chance to win a set of your own!
