Know before you buy
These placemats are spot clean only. Gently dab the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow it to air dry completely.
Yes, they are suitable for outdoor use. However, to prevent the natural fibers from fading or becoming brittle, avoid leaving them in direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use.
Each placemat is sold individually. This allows you to purchase the exact number you need for your table setting or to mix and match them with other decor.
Each round placemat measures 14 inches in diameter, providing a standard size that fits most dinner plates comfortably.
No, these placemats are not machine washable. Because they are handwoven from natural banana leaf and sisal, machine washing or soaking them will damage the fibers and the structure of the weave.
