Heirloom table linens
A table worth setting properly.
Jacquard tablecloths, linen napkins and everyday tea towels, woven to soften with every wash and outlast the trend cycle entirely.
Jacquard tablecloths, linen napkins and everyday tea towels, woven to soften with every wash and outlast the trend cycle entirely.
Eight pieces, one weave family. Mix across the table or start with the set that gets used every single day.
We work with a small jacquard mill outside Melbourne that still weaves to order, in linen-cotton blends heavy enough to hold a crease and soft enough to use without thinking about it.
Every piece is stone-washed before it ships, so it arrives at the softness most tablecloths take two years to reach.
The blend that keeps the drape of linen without the ironing obligation.
The wheatfield check is woven into the cloth — it won't crack, fade or wash out.
Pre-softened before it leaves the mill. Ready for the table on day one.
Chirnside Home began with Louise Aldridge, who grew up two streets from the old homestead the suburb is named for and never lost the feeling that a table properly set was a table properly loved.
"My nan had a cloth for every season and never once bought a new one. I wanted to make that possible again, without the hand-me-down luck required to get there."
— Louise Aldridge, Founder
A gentle 30° cycle keeps the jacquard pattern crisp and the linen fibres from breaking down early.
Tumble drying is the fastest way to age a good cloth. Ours prefer the clothesline and a bit of shade.
A warm iron on a still-damp cloth sets a crease that lasts the whole dinner without any spray starch.
"I'd bought three different tablecloths off the internet before this one that all pilled within a month. The wheatfield cloth has been through eleven washes and looks better than when it arrived."
"The napkin set replaced paper towels at every dinner. My kids actually use the cloth ones now because they're soft, not scratchy like the last set."
"Ordered the runner and the placemats together. Slightly heavier weight than I expected but that's exactly why it drapes properly. Ironed once, hasn't needed it since."
