5 Favorites: Tablecloths with Embroidered Doodles

May 1, 2025

The closer we get to a world that’s filled with AI-generated everything, the more intrigued we are by the design traditions of the Old World: hand-hewn carpentry, hand-woven textiles, hand-thrown pottery, hand-forged metalwork. (As long as there’s a hand involved, we’re all in.) Lately, the handicraft we’ve taken a shine to is embroidered linens—and in particular, these tablecloths that nod to tradition but, with their stitched line drawings that resemble whimsical doodles, are firmly of the moment. Below, five favorites we’ve been admiring.

Pictured here is her Repas du Bistro Tablecloth, inspired by “the convivial and lively ambiance of a bistro”; €1,050.

Above: You may also want to check out Etsy for more options. We found quite a few vendors selling “hand-embroidered tablecloths.” We especially like this Buon Appetito Tablecloth from FAVRTableware; $188.18 on Etsy.
