MADRE Linen MADRE is a movement. Whether it’s gathering for a meal with cherished friends or tucking yourself

MADRE is Shay Carrillo and Jeanie Kirk, two women deeply stirred by mothering, both beauty + breakdown, homemaking, food, and how a nourishing home can ripple outwards to support and honor our children, our collective human family, and the natural world. We all eat, and we all rest, therefore MADRE strives to offer linen home essentials that support food, rest, and our community. Linen napkins are the foundation of MADRE, and we are proud to launch with a select linen napkin assortment. MADRE plans to expand to include a deeper offering of tabletop and kitchen goods, bedding, and other select home essentials.

“do you offer wholesale?”
“yes, absolutely!”

i had not, in fact, figured out wholesale 😂

then she handed me her card. Catherine Bailey. Heath Ceramics. HOLY MOLY!! i was very familiar with her “little ceramic brand.”

that first order brought happy tears + a few overwhelmed ones. it was more napkins than i could possibly make on my own, and i needed help figuring out what came next.

that help turned out to be right here in Portland. fifteen years later, we’re still working with the same manufacturing partner. ❤️

there are people behind every one of these napkins. people whose work supports mine, and whose work i get to support in return. i feel very lucky to have built something together that has lasted all these years.

help me set the table! 🍸❤️

our new fall linens have so many lovely pairing possibilities, and i want to see which ones catch your eye!

OLD FASHIONED + negroni, mint julep, or daiquiri?
MANHATTAN + negroni, daiquiri, or mint julep?
WH***EY SOUR + daiquiri, wh***ey sour, or mint julep?
FRENCH 75 + wh***ey sour, negroni, or mint julep?

a little tone on tone? an unexpected mix? there’s no wrong answer, which makes choosing just one a little difficult!!

tell me your favorite pairing below. which two are coming to your table? ❤️

what’s your drink?! 🍸

i’ve always loved naming our linens after food, and this time we’ve wandered over to the bar!

meet MANHATTAN, OLD FASHIONED, WH***EY SOUR, FRENCH 75, MINT JULEP, DAIQUIRI + NEGRONI. quite the gathering!

the pairing possibilities have me especially excited. a little stripe on stripe, an unexpected combination, and suddenly a whole table starts coming together. so many ways to play!!

which ones would you put together? i cannot wait to see what your tables look like. ❤️
