Luigi Spotorno - Napkin Folding for Royalty!

Luigi Spotorno, our associate Napkin Manipulator who we have been supporting in his craft for many years, has recently used his unique ability to establish the 'Prince of Wales' fold in celebration of HRH Prince Charles’ recent marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles. He has received praise for this from both Clarence House and Buckingham Palace. Charles and Camilla were "delighted" by the fold and have sent their thanks and best wishes for the tribute.

Previously, he created the 'Coronation' fold and 'Throne' fold for Her Majesty the Queen. These were also very well received and highly acclaimed by Her Majesty.

Luigi’s work can often be seen at our exhibition stands throughout the country. He can be seen at ScotHot Exhibition on 25-28th April in Glasgow at the SECC at Stalbridge’s Stand - Number 4823. Stalbridge have supported him over the years in his quest to demonstrate his exceptional skill and we also provide all linen used by Luigi. Stalbridge intend to help publish a book on the subject of Napkin Folding that Luigi will be completing in the near future.

Recently, the high status he achieved for the 'Prince of Wales' fold culminated in appearances on ITV’s 'This Morning', Satellite Television and a variety of Radio Stations throughout the country. He also appeared in a variety of publications. He intends to carry on folding for many special occasions yet to come! If you would like more information on Luigi and his napkin creations (leaflets are also available) please contact Debbie Rosher on 01747 857609.
