Product Insights

The Simons Maison Birds Tapestry Napkin (7.5 CAD) offers William Morris's 1883 Strawberry Thief design on a 50% recycled polyester fabric that resists fading, stains, and wrinkles, machine washes quickly without ironing, and coordinates with matching tablecloth and dark linens for a historicist table. However, the stiff, waxy fabric slips off laps, edges may fray after washing, the pattern is printed only on one side (sometimes off-center) with a shiny feel lacking original depth, and it is sold individually, making it a risky gift.

Verified claims

Design
William Morris's 1883 Strawberry Thief design, sketched from garden thrushes.
Table styling
The 18x18 napkin pairs with a matching tablecloth for a cohesive textile suite.
Care and durability
Partially recycled polyester napkin resists fading, wrinkles, and stains through machine washing.
Fabric feel
Stiff, waxy polyester fabric slips off laps.
Wash durability
Edges fray; colors resist fading and stains release.
Easy care
Machine-washable, quick-drying, and no ironing.
Lap performance
The napkin slides off laps due to fabric slickness, forcing buyers to tuck it into waistbands.
Drape retention
Fabric retains its stiffness after washing, rather than softening over time.
Material
50% polyester, 50% recycled: machine washable, dries in one-third the time of cotton, no ironing, stain and fade resistant.
Edge fraying
Some napkins show edge fraying after first wash, requiring thread trimming.
Historicist styling
Pairs with brass flatware and hand-thrown ceramics for a historicist table.
Pairing versatility
Coordinates with matching tablecloth, dark linens, and most dishware for versatile styling.
Pattern quality
Pattern is printed on one side, not woven, and may be off-center.
Gifting
Beautiful print, but one-sided and stiff; sold individually—risky as a gift.
Color authenticity
Morris-inspired colors are colorfast and complement warm tableware, but print lacks original depth.
Surface finish
The printed surface can feel shiny rather than matte, but wrinkle resistance keeps the pattern smooth on the table.
One-sided print
Pattern is printed on only one side, revealing a white underside at table corners.
Pattern centering
Some napkins have off-center pattern placement that disrupts symmetry.

Quality and look

Lorraine C.

Tablecloth and napkins are beautiful. They have a European look.

Love this pattern…I’m an Arts & Crafts period fan

Christine A.

These will be lovely with the tablecloth I previously purchased from Simons - they wash well and don’t fade.

Very nice napkin

Neil H.

Very nice napkin

Beautiful but slippery

Patricia S.

The pattern is lovely and goes with many of my dishes and placemats, but the napkin will not stay put, and its slipperiness makes me doubt its absorbency. A toss-up purchase . . . looks vs function.

Lovely set

Barbara H.

The pattern is beautiful and I love how easy-care the fabric is. The only issue is that the napkins slide off your lap. Solution - tuck a corner in your waistband.

Love this pattern

keli w.

The pattern is moody but a fun addition to a table setting. The colours are complementary to most dish ware. No ironing required is a bonus!

Okay Polyester

Dianne S.

These are a lovely pattern but they have not tried to centre any of the design. So looks off.

belle

elles sont très belles

Excellent choix Morris : motif

Manon R.

Excellent choix Morris : motif qualité et couleur formidables.

Pretty, but poor quality

Sharon W.

I bought two sizes of table cloths and matching napkins. They were pretty, but when I washed them they all frayed. I had to trim off the frayed threads. Hopefully they won’t fray again.

belles couleurs

Isabelle D.

Bien contente d'avoir acheté ces serviettes pour aller avec la nappe; j'aime beaucoup le pattern. A noter cependant que le revers n'est pas de la même couleur - il est presque blanc

Strawberry thief tapestry napkin.

Sheila J.

These are strong and easy to care for. What a wonderful choice for Simons to showcase the wonderful artwork of William Morris in this way!

Love the pattern and colours but

Karla B.

I love the pattern of the print however it’s only on one side. The reverse side is bright white.

Serviette de table

Sylvie L.

Très beau tissu. Couleurs riches

Shiny/polyester feel - returned

Hailey M.

Really beautiful print but the material felt shiny and cheap and the print was one sided. Was supposed to be a gift but I knew I wouldn't want to use these myself so I returned.

Lovely

Carolyn M.

The tablecloth and napkins were exactly what I viewed on the website. Very quick delivery.

Great Design

Isabel K.

Wonderful grouping of products perfect for entertaining. Over the years I have collected different items and area always thrilled to see new arrivals.

Lovely

Gail J.

Second ‘batch. …perfect for holidays

J’adore

Julie M.

Je les utilise avec une nappe noire, c’est magnifique.

Tant attendues et fière de les avoir! ❤️

Edith F.

Excellente qualité et un beau motif! Wow!!

napkins

Thomas K.

They look perfect on the table with the matching tablecloth.

Beautiful, quality tablecloth and napkins.

Donna L.

Love the pattern and rich tones. Nice weight and draping. Such easy care as well. But, the pattern is only on one side, it is not thread dyed. You can see the white underside where it drapes on the table corners. The napkins white underside is visible as soon as you pick them up. Not what I expected. I also purchased one of the cotton tablecloths which is thread dyed and fully coloured.

Stylish napkins

Elaine J.

Easy to wash and no ironing required. Adds a touch of flair to any table setting.

Very nice

Wayne B.

Good quality

another tasteful product.

Hazel M.

The napkins compliment the tablemats pwerfectly.

loved the pattern but not

Sarah F.

loved the pattern but not crazy about the fabric.

Beautiful colors but the fabric

Elisabeth S.

Beautiful colors but the fabric is stiff & waxy. The napkins are made of the same material as the matching tablecloth (which I love). Not what I wanted so I returned them.
