About Cabana, the cocktail napkins
Each napkin is made start to finish in Los Angeles, California: the fabric is first printed by hand by our master printers there; it's then washed for maximum softness at a family-run wash house down the road; finally, the team at ATELIER SAUCIER expertly cuts, sews and trims each one before it makes its way to your table.
About Cabana (the pattern) : Tropical light through matchstick blinds. Bamboo in breeze-sway. Color, shadows, and the sunlight in between.
Reimagined for the present from a Japanese textile purchased in the 1930s by our second-generation owners, Remy Sr. & Lucile Chatain. The original was a metallic gold foil print, executed on the most delicate of rice papers. Tucked away in a small folder of travel ephemera for almost one hundred years – we felt it was time for this textural treat to see the light of day.
Perfectly imperfect, the striations in Cabana run both horizontally and vertically in a subtle, hand-drawn rhythm. The combination of softness and geometry means that Cabana is an amazing counterpart to larger, bolder patterns (we love it with Martinique® for the way it picks up the veins in the banana leaves).
To say we were overjoyed when we discovered this beautiful piece of history in a small stack of mementos from second generation CW Stockwell owners Lucile and Remy L. Chatain,Sr.'s 1930's vacation to Kobe, Japan - that would be the understatement, of...well, the century.
