If you have been searching for a striped linen tablecloth with an unusual and considered colour palette — not primary colours, not predictable neutrals — Patch Violet Green is what you are looking for. The wide bands of olive green and natural linen, accented with narrow violet mauve stripes, are not applied to the fabric: they are born directly on the loom, from the interlacing of differently coloured threads. The colour is in the very structure of the linen, not on its surface — and this guarantees chromatic solidity and depth that printing cannot replicate.
The linen is a heavyweight linen, produced by a weaving mill in southern Italy with a consolidated tradition in linen production. The weave is dense and visible, the weight is substantial, the hand is that of a fabric made to last. The stonewashed treatment softens the fibre without losing its character: the result is a weave that falls naturally on the table, forms wide and generous folds, and carries the material quality that distinguishes artisan linen from industrial production.
As with all natural linen products, small irregularities in the weave may be visible — variations in the yarn, differences in thread thickness, natural fibre slubs. In a heavyweight artisan linen these variations are more evident than in industrial linen, and they are an integral part of its character. They are not flaws: they are proof that this fabric is made by hands, not by machines.
In the image, Patch Violet Green dresses a long outdoor table on a Tuscan terrace in full summer: stone balustrade, white climbing roses, green hills in the background. The olive green of the fabric enters into direct conversation with the landscape; the violet mauve introduces an unexpected note — floral, almost botanical — that transforms a striped cloth into something more sophisticated. The natural linen of the lighter bands lightens the whole and lets the colours breathe.
This is a spring and summer palette par excellence, but it works across all seasons. The violet mauve converses with the lavenders and lilacs of autumn; olive green is a warm neutral that moves through the seasons effortlessly. In a contemporary interior with white or light grey walls, the violet-green stripes have the presence of a design object. On a natural wood or wrought iron table, the heavyweight linen carries itself.
Because violet mauve is rare in woven linen tablecloths — most loom-woven stripes offer primary colours or plain neutrals. Here the violet accent introduces a more refined chromatic sensibility, somewhere between botanical and contemporary, that sets this tablecloth apart from anything easily found in the market.
Because heavyweight linen woven with coloured threads has superior colour fastness compared to any dyed or printed tablecloth: the colours are in the structure of the fabric and do not fade over time with washing.
Because the weight of the linen is a concrete advantage for large tables and outdoor use.
And because every tablecloth is hand-cut and finished with mitered corners in our atelier in Follina (Treviso) — the sartorial finishing that makes the difference.
White ceramics are the most immediate pairing — white brings out both the green and the violet without competing with either. Solid linen napkins in olive green or violet mauve complete the service by echoing one of the two main tones. Transparent crystal catches the summer light and converses with the freshness of the green.
For the centrepiece, white or violet flowers — as in the image, where a small bunch of fresh wildflowers is all that is needed — are the natural pairing. Simplicity always works with a fabric that already has its own character.
Patch Violet Green also works as a base for the double tablecloth technique: a shorter botanical printed cloth laid at the centre — our Pansée or Datura Rosa — finds in the violet-green ground an unexpected and very successful foundation, far more interesting than a plain neutral base.

The Patch Violet Green tablecloth is born from the meeting of two Italian textile traditions: the fabric is produced by an artisan weaving mill in southern Italy using a technique of interlacing coloured threads on the loom; the finishing — hand-cutting and mitered corners — is carried out in our atelier in Follina (Treviso).
Two centres of Italian excellence, one tablecloth.
Are the stripes woven or printed? Woven. The olive green, natural linen, and violet mauve threads are interlaced directly on the loom during fabric production — the colour is in the structure of the linen, not applied to the surface. This guarantees colour fastness that printing cannot replicate. The stripes will not crack, fade, or peel.
Is this tablecloth suitable for outdoor use? Yes — it is ideal for outdoor use. Heavyweight linen stays in place even in wind, and the green and violet palette converses naturally with garden vegetation and summer light. As with all linen products, avoid prolonged direct sunlight exposure to preserve the colours over time.
Can I order this tablecloth for a very large table? Yes. Patch Violet Green is available on request even for very large tables. Contact us with your measurements and we will confirm what is possible.
Is this machine washable? Yes, at 40°C (104°F). The stonewashed treatment has already pre-shrunk the fabric, so shrinkage on first wash will be minimal. Steam iron slightly damp.
How does Patch Violet Green pair with the printed tablecloths in your collection? The violet mauve ground creates a very successful chromatic conversation with the botanical Pansée and Datura Rosa prints. Used as a base with a printed cloth laid at the centre using the double tablecloth technique, Patch Violet Green offers a warmer, more personal foundation than plain neutral linen — with aesthetically striking results.
