Know before you buy
Each placemat measures 12 inches in diameter, making it an ideal size for standard dinner plates or as a decorative base for centerpieces.
Yes, the durable raffia construction makes them suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. However, we recommend bringing them inside after use to protect the natural fibers from prolonged moisture or direct weather exposure.
These placemats should be spot cleaned only. Gently dab the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely.
Because each piece is meticulously handwoven by artisans in Rwanda, there will be slight variations in the weave and pattern. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the handmade process and ensure that no two placemats are exactly alike.
These placemats are sold individually, allowing you to purchase the exact number needed for your table setting or to mix and match with other styles.
