About us

We create beautiful laundered linen tablecloths, finished with a contrasting linen border for an elegant, timeless look. Matching napkins are also available to complete the table setting.

We also offer exquisite made to order bridge cloths, crafted from sumptuous plush velvet and finished with beautifully designed decorative braids.

Each piece is thoughtfully made to bring a touch of understated luxury and elegance to your table.

Caroline

Caroline moved to Gloucestershire from South Africa in 2009 with her husband and their three young daughters. She plays bridge — and teaches it too.

Sharon

Sharon is a Londoner by background who moved to the Cotswolds in 2002. Away from the bridge table she plays tennis and padel, and loves watching any sport.

“Bridge is a democratic game, you can vote for any convention you like.” “Don’t get busy with a flat hand.” “Stayman is for asking, transfer is for showing.” “Points schmoints – it’s not how many points you have, it’s how many tricks you take.” “If not a fool quite, place the cards upon your right. If you are of mind bereft, place the cards upon your left.” “Bridge is like marriage, all hearts and diamonds to start, then you look for a club and a spade.”

We cannot promise that a Shacari bridge cloth will avoid those unfortunate partnership misunderstandings — but we believe it may make them a little easier to bear!
