One of the quieter details of the dining car in Spectre is one most viewers never register: the napkins. The Fine Cotton Company supplied the production with embroidered napkins, and the Spectre embroidered napkins on the table in the Moroccan train carriage are exactly the sort of touch a considered host notices. They are laid out as Daniel Craig’s Bond sits down to dinner, before Hinx interrupts it. More of the film is in our guide to Spectre.
Using Spectre embroidered napkins now
Embroidered linen is a small, private pleasure. The napkin does not announce itself; it simply tells a guest that the table was thought about. We would keep the rest of the setting plain: white china, plain glass, one candle. Let the embroidery be the only decoration. It suits a dinner for two as well as a long Sunday lunch.
The Fine Cotton Company sells a Spectre collection of napkins, towels, dressing gowns and laundry bags, inspired by the embroidery in the film. Treat it as a retail version in the spirit of the film, not as the props themselves. We have not matched the exact initials and colour of the film embroidery, so the collection is the closest match we can identify. More ideas for the home are in our home and interiors section.
