Know before you buy
Because they are crafted from natural Mawisa palm fibers, these placemats should be spot-cleaned with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the natural fibers.
These placemats are designed for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or moisture outdoors can cause the natural palm fibers to fade or lose their structural integrity over time.
As these are 100% handmade, there may be very slight variations in the weave or shape. However, the Mawisa palm fiber is naturally sturdy and designed to provide a stable, flat surface for your dinnerware.
Yes, their durable construction and intricate geometric patterns make them excellent decorative centerpieces. They work well under vases, candles, or as a textured base for a coffee table display.
No, each placemat is unique. While they follow traditional Wayuu geometric styles, the hand-weaving process means that subtle variations in the pattern and texture are expected and part of their artisanal charm.
