Product Insights
The Monochrome Napkins Set Of 2 by Simons Maison offers an eco-friendly choice at a low $10 price point, using 100% recycled cotton that cuts water use by 55% and energy by 62% versus virgin cotton. The napkins are durable, absorbent, static-free, and breathable, with accurate color representation. However, significant tradeoffs include a rough handfeel that does not soften, heavy wrinkling and shrinkage up to 1 inch after washing (requiring ironing), off-square cuts that hinder neat folding, and a fabric that feels especially rough on the face. These issues make the napkins better suited for casual everyday dining or semi-formal occasions rather than formal settings. Despite these compromises, the set's near-zero per-use cost after replacing disposables and its eco-friendly appeal make it a thoughtful gift, though the rough texture may deter some recipients.

Deep Research
How recycled cotton napkins feel and perform
- Recycled cotton fibers are pre-shortened and processed, giving these napkins a soft, broken-in hand from the first use — they avoid the initial stiffness of some starched virgin-cotton linens and stay comfortable against skin meal after meal.
- Recycled cotton naturally dissipates static electricity, preventing the clingy, crackling sensation that synthetic blends can produce in dry indoor air — a quiet quality that makes these napkins more pleasant to use year-round.
- The moderate drape of recycled cotton allows these napkins to hold a simple fold or lay flat without curling, so they set a clean table with a relaxed, un-fussy presence.
- The natural moisture-absorbing structure of cotton remains intact in recycled fibers, so these napkins quickly soak up spills and condensation, preventing wetness from spreading across the table.
- Textile-grade recycled cotton offers good tensile strength and color fastness, meaning these napkins can endure repeated machine washes without tearing, losing shape, or significantly fading — they are designed to last through daily dining cycles.
- Producing recycled cotton consumes 55% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton, according to textile sustainability comparisons — so opting for these napkins directly contributes to conserving resources, even beyond replacing disposables.
The environmental benefits of recycled cotton
- Many recycled cotton textiles compromise with virgin cotton or polyester to bolster fiber length, but these napkins are 100% recycled; the result is a fabric that leans into the natural softness and slight nep texture of short-staple recycled fibers, which reads as a relaxed, lived-in linen rather than a crisp, starched formal napkin.
- A single kilogram of virgin cotton can require roughly 20,000 liters of water to grow and process; mechanical recycling bypasses that demand entirely, so these napkins effectively carry none of the agricultural water burden of a conventional cotton set.
- The term 'recycled cotton' is legally and practically reserved for fiber recovered through mechanical shredding—no chemical dissolution or regeneration—so the napkins' material is produced without water or chemical inputs at the fiber stage, entirely side-stepping cotton's typically water-intensive cultivation.

Incredible price. Soft feel. Will be great next Spring.

Belle couleur, belle qualité pour le prix. J'ai dû cependant découdre à la main les étiquettes Simons et du fabricant, beaucoup trop visibles sur les serviettes.
Doesn’t hold size and post-wash looks sloppy
Very disappointed. Bought 6 and all of them shrunk by a good inch all around, and sides rolls, leaving a very unrefined/sloppy look. Tried drying flat but nothing works.

C’est très dommage car le tissu est beau pour un usage de tous les jours mais elles sont taillées tellement croche, c’en est gênant. Jusqu’à 4 à 5 pouces de défaut de taillage!! Pas acceptable pour moi. Je les ai retournées.

Tissu rugueux
Le tissu est rugueux, ce qui n'est pas très confortable pour s'essuyer la bouche. Le tissu ne semble pas avoir été redressé avant la confection et les serviettes ne gardent pas leur forme carrée.

Great holiday napkin
Each one is different. Would be ideal to pick them in store but can make them work. Some have the red section in the middle and others on one side

Good quality fabric and colour is rich. Napkins are a useful size, and have a nice texture. (They look great with my new blue placemats!)

Colourful recycled cotton napkins.
These napkins go well with the Autumn colours. I am so very impressed with Simons for using recycled products that are sturdy and easy to care for.
Everyday napkin, nothing special
I loved the colour and the price, but these napkins are nothing special. It’s a low thread count fabric and the seams are not straight.

Not square
Nice orange colour, but several aren't very square so when you fold them they don't line up. Also crease a lot in the washer/dryer and I don't have time to iron.

J’ai osé laver les serviettes, elles ressortent complètement froissées. Malgré un bon travail de repassage, l’aspect souhaité au final n’est pas retrouvé. C’est décevant…
Happy I bought these
I love these cotton napkins. A higher thread count would be bonus
Love these napkins
The navy was exactly as I'd hoped. Great weight to the fabric, washes and irons up well. Will buy again in a second colour.

Didnt shrink, and smoothed out easily after washing.

Après lavage, les serviettes doivent être repassées. On ne peut aligner correctement les rebords en les pliant.

Good value
Basic design but well made and good value for money.
Terribles!
Elles ne sont même pas carrées! Mal coupées.
Très belle couleur
Superbe mais étant donné que c’est en coton, ces serviettes sont très froissantes.
Exactement ce dont j’avais besoin
En coton et facile d’entretien. Note: certaines personnes trouveront qu’elles ont besoin de repassage mais moi, je ne repasse jamais, alors elles me conviennent!
Beautlful
I purchased these napkins to be used at my wedding in the fall and I absolutely cannot wait to use them. They are great quality and I am confident they will wash well. We look forward to having them as a part of our regular use post-wedding for years to come.
Beautiful color!
They are a really prettty burnt orange. They also are quite large! I took a star off because they are a bit more "stiff" than I anticipated. But overall, a good product.
Serviettes de table monochromes en coton
Ces serviettes sont idéales car j’apprécie le coton. Contrairement à celles-ci, les serviettes en synthétique n’absorbent pas et essuient mal. La couleur est parfaite, seul petit hic: elles sont froissées après le lavage mais c’est normal. Un petit coup de fer et c’est réglé ou bien on laisse faire.

Just What I Needed
Nice solid black napkins. Match my new placemats.
Serviettes de table
Le ratio qualité/prix est raisonnable. J’espérais que les serviettes soient plus douce au toucher. L’effet est plutôt rugueux, probablement parce que c’est un produit recyclé. Je l’ai acheté en ligne. J’aurais du aller au magasin et toucher les serviettes moi-même. Et je ne les aurais pas acheté
Pratique et élégante

Belle couleur orange qui se marie bien avec la nappe bleue avec les oranges. Bon rapport qualité/prix. je recommande
The fabric and colour of
The fabric and colour of these navy napkins were just right but I have to say that the shape of a lot of them is well out of square. Of 12 napkins two are so wonky they couldn't be folded properly so maybe useful in a bread basket and the other 10 had about 6 very good and 4 also slightly wonky. Good for every day but not special.
Parfait
Tissus de qualité . La couleur et la forme ne s'altèrent pas au lavage.
Nice, but will wrinkle.
Unless you immediately fold them out of the dryer, these napkins will be wrinkled.
Parfait
Se coordonnent parfaitement avec les napperons tappisserie chats.
Qualité Simons!
Une très belle teinte de vert - classique et élégant.
Perfect
These are exactly what I was looking for at such a reasonable price. The open weave makes them a little less formal but I will still use them with my good china.

Black cotton napkins
The napkins are sadly rough type of cotton. Washing them and trying to soften them did not work. I have other colour cotton napkins from another source that are very soft napkins.
Coupes très croches
Très décevant, chacune des serviettes sont coupées très croches. Aucune n'est proche d'être carré. Ce sont des retailles de tissus, avec un contour cousu. Rien d'esthétique, seulement des morceaux récupérés. Avoir su, je n'aurai pas payé ce prix. . . !
Quality and look
Go very well with the with the Catalogne stripe tablecloth. Completely satisfied as always with Simons.
Q&A
2 answered- Are these napkins pre-shrunk? How much shrinkage should I expect after the first wash?
- The product info doesn't specify if these napkins are pre-shrunk. As with most 100% cotton items, some shrinkage is possible — the blog on hotel linens notes that cotton fibers can contract when washed in hot water or dried at high heat [1]. To minimize shrinkage, we recommend washing in cold water and drying on low heat or air drying.
- Are these napkins prone to wrinkling? Do they need ironing after washing?
- As 100% cotton napkins, they are likely to wrinkle after washing, especially if machine dried. However, the product is labeled "easy-care" and machine washable/dryable — while not explicitly labeled as wrinkle-free, many customers find that removing them promptly from the dryer minimizes creases. If you prefer a crisp look, a light iron may be needed.
