The Story Behind the Crème Le Pearl Napkin
At Bloc à Main, every piece of linen is designed with meaning and memory. For the Crème Le Pearl Nizam Border Table Napkin, founders Deepa & Rhythm, the mother-daughter duo behind the brand, sought to create a piece that reflects understated luxury and the quiet grandeur of Indian heritage.
The inspiration for this napkin comes from Deccan royal courts, where fabrics spoke louder than words. The Nizams of Hyderabad, patrons of fine textiles, were known for commissioning intricate weaves with precious metallic threads, using subtle colors for everyday grandeur. Deepa & Rhythm have reimagined this tradition in a modern context—opting for a serene Pearl White napkin edged with a refined Gold Nizam border. The result is a table linen that feels both regal and minimal, designed for the contemporary home.
The fabric itself is Handwoven Mangalgiri cotton, a weaving style originating from Mangalgiri, Andhra Pradesh. This technique produces a fine, soft fabric that is both breathable and durable, perfect for tropical and temperate climates. Chandweaving refers to the meticulous handloom process that creates a lustrous, near-sheen finish—subtle, not flashy, but unmistakably elegant.
In Indian culture, white symbolizes purity and new beginnings, while gold represents prosperity, warmth, and the divine. By bringing these elements together, Deepa & Rhythm created a product that embodies celebration, grace, and hospitality—the essence of Indian hosting.
