Available in two sizes of 100ml and 200ml, each diffuser comes in a premium colour gift box with a window to show off the bottle and flowers, enhancing the range for display and as a gift.

Museums & Galleries

Museums & Galleries (M&G) has taken to textile-based products like a duck to water and 2023 sees another leap forward: the company is releasing two napkin collections - one on printed organic cotton and the other on printed paper.

Fabric-based gift products have been a big success within M&G’s offer since they were first introduced two years ago with organic cotton pencil cases. Pouch bags and luxury totes followed last year. All of these ranges have been expanded for 2023, together with the launch of a collection of six organic cotton napkin designs.

Each pack has a branded bellyband holding together four machine washable printed cotton napkins. The napkins are generously sized at 45cm square.

The range features some of M&G’s most sumptuous imagery from its licences: two William Morris designs from the V&A, a design based on Hokusai’s ‘Great Wave’ from the British Museum, Vincent Van Gogh’s classic painting ‘Almond Blossoms in Bloom’, young designer Catherine Rowe’s ‘Honey Bee’ pattern and M&G Classics favourite ‘Wild Garden’ by artist Josephine Simon.

The beautiful artwork has been faithfully reproduced on cotton, matching perfectly with other products in M&G’s collection. These will definitely be a big hit with fans of creative table settings and home entertaining.

Alongside the cotton napkin collection, M&G is introducing a collection of 12 paper napkin packs. Each cello pack contains 20 napkins packaged with a branded insert. Unfolded, the napkins measure 33cm square.

There are two mini-collections within this range. The first mini-collection is the V&A’s, which has its own spread of six napkin designs, focusing on the museum’s strengths in British Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau patterns. The second mini-collection is a paper-based accompaniment to the organic cotton collection, with the designs matching perfectly.

Two new designs are available in the paper napkin collection - Sarah Campbell’s vibrant ‘Coffee Break’ and Dee Hardwicke’s perennially popular ‘Hares and Berries’.

This exciting collection will be launched for sale in January and will be on display at M&G’s stand at the Spring Fair. Call: 01373 461455 Email: sales@mgml.co.uk Visit: www.museumsgalleries.co.uk
