Table linen sets from India: the whole table in one box

Table linen sets from India bring together a tablecloth or runner with matching napkins and placemats, printed from the same blocks or woven from the same yarn. For a customer, a set is the easiest way to buy a complete Indian look in one go. For a retailer, it raises the value of every sale.

When buyers ask us for sets, we usually ask who they are for. A gift set for weddings and housewarmings needs beautiful packaging. A retail set for a dining range needs a design that sits well with your other products. A hotel set needs durability.

What goes into a set

Most of our sets combine two or three of these pieces: a tablecloth or table runner, napkins and placemats. Sets of four or six place settings are the most popular.

Crafts that work beautifully in sets

Hand block prints

Block printing is ideal for sets because the same carved blocks can print every piece. Our Kalamkari placemat and napkin set and Bagru block print placemat set are good examples, with a main print and a companion print that sit together without being identical.

Handloom and ikat

Yarn-dyed checks and ikat can be woven in matching colours across runner, napkins and mats.

Embroidered sets

Chikankari embroidery on a runner and napkins makes an elegant bridal or anniversary gift.

Packaging for gifting

Sets are often gifts, so we pay attention to presentation. We can pack them in printed boxes, kraft boxes, cloth bags or with ribbon and a printed card, all with your branding. Sustainable packaging is available.

Colours and custom sets

Existing colourways are quickest. Exclusive colourways for larger orders are possible, with a minimum per colour and a little time for dyeing, especially for muted greys and earth tones.

Minimum quantities

Minimums are per set design and are kept modest for handmade sets. Many buyers start with two or three set designs alongside loose napkins and runners.

Packing and shipping

Every piece is checked for print and size, then assembled into sets, packed and labelled. We ship by sea or palletised air freight and quote ex-factory, FOB, CFR or CIF.

Questions about table linen sets

Can I choose which pieces go into a set?

Yes. We can build sets around a runner or tablecloth, with four, six or eight napkins and mats.

Can sets be packed for gifting with my brand?

Yes, in printed boxes or cloth bags with your logo and message.

Are sets machine washable?

Most cotton sets are. Natural dye and embroidered pieces need gentle washing, and we print the care advice on each pack.

Tell us whether your sets are for gifting, retail or hospitality, and we will suggest designs and packaging that suit.
