Hand-Embroidered Linen Table Napkin "Khomsa" – Collection Medina
About the Item
Infuse your dining rituals with history, symbolism, and art with this exquisite hand-embroidered linen table napkin from the Medina collection, designed by celebrated Tunisian artist Meriem Bouderbala.
Crafted from 100% natural linen and meticulously hand-embroidered, this 45x45 cm (17.7 x 17.7 in) napkin features a delicate interpretation of the "Khomsa" — an iconic symbol in Tunisian folklore. Also known as the "Hand of Fatima," the Khomsa is traditionally believed to offer protection, strength, and blessings. Its presence in Tunisian homes, jewelry, and textiles reflects a centuries-old spiritual heritage, woven deeply into everyday life.
Meriem Bouderbala, an acclaimed visual artist known for her rich exploration of Tunisian identity, reimagines the Khomsa with a contemporary sensibility. Her interpretation blends authenticity with artistic freedom, resulting in a refined, timeless embroidery that honors ancestral craft while telling a new story. Each napkin is hand-embroidered with the utmost care by skilled artisans, ensuring that every piece is truly unique.
Part of the Medina collection — a celebration of Tunisian heritage, craftsmanship, and modern design — this napkin elevates any table setting with its meaningful symbolism, artisanal beauty, and elegant simplicity.

La Fibre Artisanale
« La Fibre Artisanale » is a Tunisian brand that honors the ancestral know how of our craftswomen and craftsmen in the Tunisian regions.
It offers a trip to the traditional handcrafts by proposing contemporary items adapted to today’s usage.
Created by Tunisian designers as well as engaged and talented artists, the items of “La Fibre Artisanale” are part of a desire to promote a Tunisian cultural heritage, open to the world and which revisits the expressions of its cultural heritage.
The philosophy of the “La Fibre Artisanale” is based - as its name indicates - on the art of the braided fiber.
From north to south, from the Cap bon, the territory of « rods/rush» or « Smar » to that of Gabes where the leaves of palm trees or « Zhaf » reigns, passing through the layers of « halfa» of Kasserine or Sidi Bouzid, it’s a complementary and a common handcraft that we must do, where each of its shadow workers has its place and its role.
The craftswomen pick, weave and decorate, the craftsmen dye, weave and assemble.
« La Fibre Artisanale » contributes to the development of an equitable commerce, to a social and solidary economy while respecting the environment and to the sustainability of the local handicraft.
