Spunlace is what makes these work. Water jets entangle cellulose and polyester fibers without chemicals, a textile process rather than a papermaking one, producing a napkin with the hand of cloth and the convenience of paper, and VIETRI makes them in Lombardy, where northern Italy's textile tradition sits behind even a disposable napkin. The Papersoft Napkins Blue Ginger Jar Cocktail Napkins carry an intricate blue-and-white ginger jar motif that sits comfortably against chinoiserie and plain white alike, twenty to a pack. Guests reach for these disposable cocktail napkins without worrying, they absorb properly rather than shredding, and a pack is small enough to keep in the cupboard for the evening that turns into a dinner party nobody planned and nobody leaves early.
