Hendrick’s Gin and Matarranz 1911 weave a close alliance this Christmas with an elegant yet unusual gift designed to let the imagination soar and surprise both friends and strangers alike.

No one will remain indifferent to the handcrafted table linen created by both houses, capturing the bold and ornate spirit of Hendrick’s Gin and the finest tradition brought by Matarranz 1911, La Sastrería del hogar (“The Home Tailor”).

The first Christmas dinners date back to Roman times, known as the Saturnalia, and continued throughout the Middle Ages. But it was during the Victorian era that they became most popular, giving rise to the lavish feasts that, to this day, remain in our homes. The delicacies were, and still are, important: from poultry arriving from Anglo-Saxon lands to delights of the sea, tender meats and sumptuous syrupy desserts.

The gastronomic offerings vary according to the chef in charge of the kitchen. Yet all those Christmas dinners, past and present, share one thing in common: the decoration and adornment of the tables around which guests are gathered and surprised.

From elaborate floral arrangements to original candlesticks, through to gleaming cutlery or decorative edibles.

It is these guests that Hendrick’s had in mind when designing this gift to win them over during the festive season.

This is a limited edition of 50 units, presented in a colourful and elegant case containing the iconic Hendrick’s bottle and a table linen set comprising a tablecloth and six embroidered napkins.

The perfect gift to be the talk of the neighbourhood, the source of all the likes on Instagram, and one that will make this Christmas dinner remembered for generations to come.
