Product Insights
Officially licensed from the William Morris estate, these 16.5 cm quarter-folded luncheon napkins offer museum-quality heritage at a price below gallery counterparts ($7.50 vs. $7.95 at the National Gallery). The 1883 design, the first Morris pattern to add red and yellow to an indigo-discharge ground, is held in three museum collections. Made from responsibly sourced 3-ply German paper, they are soft, absorbent, tear-resistant, and affordably priced for everyday meals, hosting, seasonal decor, and host gifts. However, the paper colorway may differ from cloth items in the same pattern, and online orders risk lost packages or wrong items—ordering early or buying in-store is advised.
Verified claims
- Museum price parity
- $7.50 Simons price undercuts $7.95 National Gallery and £4.50 V&A for the same licensed napkins.
- Color consistency
- Paper napkin colorway may differ noticeably from the cloth tablecloth in the same pattern.
- Licensing
- Officially licensed from the William Morris estate.
- Print clarity
- Crisp, clear print on a small luncheon napkin.
- Softness
- 3-ply paper feels soft and cushioned against skin and lips.
- Durability
- The 3-ply paper draws condensation and spills upward into its core plies, resists tearing, and stays presentable through meals and standing drinks.
- Size
- Quarter-folded 16.5 cm luncheon napkin is 1.5 inches larger per side than a standard 5 x 5 inch cocktail napkin.
- Buyer caveats
- A buyer found the colourway difference from the matching cloth table linen difficult to discern on the website.
- Seasonal versatility
- Gold-and-green palette works across summer, fall, winter, and spring occasions.
- Coordination
- Part of a matching table-linen range from Simons Maison.
- Occasion versatility
- Buyers use these napkins for hosting, special occasions, and seasonal tables.
- Host gift
- Priced at $7.50, buyers give these napkins as host gifts, including for William Morris fans.
- Collectibility
- Buyers who own matching linens repurchase these napkins as a themed refill.

- Institutional status
- Held in three museum collections and has charmed consumers for over 120 years.
- Luncheon napkin
- 33 x 33 cm quarter-folded luncheon napkins, sold through museum boutiques and given as host gifts.
- Paper origin
- The napkins are made from responsibly sourced 3-ply German paper, which buyers describe as nice quality.
- Value comparison
- At $7.50 CAD, these napkins are slightly below the $7.95 CAD price for the identical Strawberry Thief pack at the National Gallery of Canada boutique.
- Absorbency limits
- These 3-ply paper napkins absorb light drips and handle wiping hands well during drinks and appetizers, but saucy or greasy food requires about one napkin per guest because they are disposable paper and won't soak up the way cloth does.
- Composting and recycling
- These napkins are made from responsibly sourced paper, and comparable Strawberry Thief paper napkins are FSC-certified, biodegradable, and compostable; home or municipal composting is the better disposal route than curbside recycling.
- Pack contents
- All 20 napkins in the pack carry the same Strawberry Thief repeat, not an assortment of motifs.

Printing is excellent
The print is very clear and crisp. These are in quite a different colourway than the cloth tablecloth that I bought at Simons with the same pattern; this was difficult to discern on the website

My product never arrived
I can’t tell you what I think of the napkins I ordered, because they have never arrived. The tracking system tells me they had just left Edmonton for several days. Yesterday, the site said, preparing for delivery, so when I received your request for an evaluation, I assume they must’ve arrived after I fell asleep last night, but I just went down and checked this morning, and there is nothing there. Please arrange to send me a refund. I have been a very faithful and enthusiastic Simons customer, and have bought other things from Simons which I really liked. I’m sure that it is the delivery company and not Simons itself. That is the problem, but I’m extremely disappointed, as these were intended as a gift for a friend whose birthday has now come and gone. Georgia Klass.

Beautiful William Morris pattern, great quality!
Great to complete the look
These go with the tablecloth and placemats that I already had.
Matches the cork placemats perfectly
The placemats were tres expensive on the place that starts with an "A" and ends with a "zon". I got them at Simon's for far less, and yesterday noticed that they were even less expensive - If I had waited I could have saved $40! But the placemats will be a nice addition to that gift and at $7. 50 they were a good gift for the kids to buy.
