Know before you buy
These placemats are not machine washable. To keep them in good condition, simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth as needed.
No, these placemats are not heat-resistant. We recommend using heat-safe trivets for hot dishes to protect both your table and the natural fibers of the placemats.
These are designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the natural banana fiber and cotton construction.
Because they are handwoven from banana stem fiber and cotton, they feature a distinct, earthy texture that adds visual interest to a table. They are designed to sit flat, though the natural weave provides a tactile, organic feel rather than a perfectly smooth surface.
Each set includes four individual placemats, each measuring 13 inches by 19 inches.
