The Mrs. English Collection, an elevated napery range, recently joined Lanzerac’s other distinctive homeware offerings. The Mrs. English Collection invites you to dine with a legacy. Kitty English, the fifth owner of Lanzerac, was a force of nature cloaked in grace. In 1920, she purchased the estate, then known as Schoongezicht, and gave it its enduring name, Lanzerac. Her nine-year tenure saw the estate transformed into one of the most forward-thinking wineries of its time. Known for her sharp wit, impeccable taste and gracious, bountiful hospitality Mrs. English left an indelible mark on the Cape—and now, on your table. This new range of linen tableware doesn’t just dress your table; it tells a story—a story of quiet luxury, Old Cape charm, and a woman whose influence is as enduring as the threads in these exquisite linens.

Linen Worthy of Her Name

Linen has always been a fabric with whispers of elegance woven into its fibres. Sourced from the humble flax plant, its creation is anything but ordinary. The process—from harvesting to weaving—is labor-intensive, producing a fabric that’s both substantial in weight and soft to the touch. The Mrs. English Collection takes this tradition to new heights with 100% premium softened linen, crafted to drape effortlessly while retaining an air of sophistication. And this isn’t just any linen. With a frequency of 5000 MHz—50 times that of the human body—it’s a super-fabric, believed to promote energy and enhance well-being. 

Today’s hostesses would agree, elegance must also be responsible. Linen is one of the cleanest, most sustainable fabrics to produce, with minimal environmental impact. The Mrs. English Collection is a testament to this ethos, proving that luxury and sustainability can, and should, coexist.

Set the Scene

To lay the table with the Mrs. English Collection is to step into her world: one of refined charm, considered living and moments that matter. These linens will elevate every occasion, creating a backdrop for laughter, connection and memories.Â
