There’s something classy about putting your stamp on your stuff. And if you can work with a designer to create a seal all your own, that’s even better. Sarah Drake, one of our favorite local designers of paper products, has expanded her collection to include monogramming services for custom bedding, ceramics, and table linens. A set of six machine-embroidered heavyweight Belgian linen napkins (22 by 22 inches), such as the ones shown above, is $195. Drake offers a pleasing choice of neutral colors and provides detailed proofs showing you how the final product will look before she sends it off to be embroidered. How chic.
