New linen from Garnier-Thiebaut features colorful, upbeat designs with an emphasis on sustainability and coated fabrics.

Spilled liquids bead up on the linen, making it a practical choice for outdoor events or events with young guests.

"Ricochets" (pictured at left) is fashioned of lustrous cotton damask to capture the play of ripples in a placid pond, the manufacturer says.

Other designs include "Creole" and "Jungle."
