The Story Behind Our Product – Napkins & Placemats

April 21, 2015 by Marsha Sites McKeegan

We love product with stories, and boy, do our Napkins and Placemats have a story! Their story began in 1925 in Barcelona, Spain with Maria Guasch and her husband, Antonio. After Maria and Antonio left their previous jobs at a textile company, they decided to open their own factory. However, days after the company was started, Antonio passed away…

In a time when women were found at home with their families, Maria found herself without a husband to provide for her family. So instead of giving up, Maria became determined to continue the journey her husband and she started in order to provide for her family.

With her hard work and determination, Maria invented and patented a bonding agent that kept her company?s cotton from fraying. It is this brilliant invention, from this determined mother, that has kept this family-owned company still going strong 90 years later.

How great is it to know that with each purchase of our Napkins and/or Placemats on a roll, we are partnering with the story of a mother who was once, and is still today, providing for her family?

Now until April 30, we’re offering these Napkins and Placemats on a Roll at discounted prices!
