EMENAhome

Hi, I'm Eliane, and I'm genuinely terrible at throwing things away. Not in a hoarder way. More in a why-are-we-wrapping-a-sandwich-in-something-that-takes-500-years-to-break-down way!

I started EMENA in 2020 when planning a family celebration and wanted a table that felt beautiful, considered, and kind to the planet. I looked everywhere for cloth napkins that felt like something you'd actually want on your table and for eco-friendly gifts that didn't feel like a compromise, such as reusable sandwich wraps that didn't look like camping gear. I couldn't quite find what I was looking for, so I decided to make it myself.

Five years later, EMENA is a small collection of handmade table linen and zero-waste kitchen essentials, all handmade in-house. Everything is made from natural cotton using traditional techniques. At EMENA, nothing is mass-produced.

What we make:
Our reusable sandwich wraps and snack bags are what most people find us through, and honestly, once you switch, you won't go back. Beautiful printed cotton, water-resistant lining, and machine washable. A proper alternative to cling film that you and your kids will actually want to use.
We also make fringed block-print cotton napkins, reversible fabric bread baskets, placemats and table runners in toile de jouy and floral prints, furoshiki fabric gift wrap, reusable cotton bowl covers and a growing range of eco-friendly home gifts that people reach for every single day.

What we believe:
Sustainability shouldn't mean giving things up. It should mean choosing better things, things that are made with care, built to last, and worth passing on. We use natural materials, compostable packaging wherever possible, and we make everything in small batches, so nothing goes to waste. Everything ships free within the UK.

Whether you're trying to cut plastic from your packed lunch, looking for an eco-friendly gift that's actually useful, or just want your table to feel a bit more like you, welcome. You're in the right place.
