Know before you buy
These coasters should be spot cleaned only. Gently dab any spills with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely to maintain the integrity of the natural fibers.
Yes, they are designed for both indoor and outdoor settings. However, because they are made from natural raffia, it is best to bring them inside after use to prevent prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, which could affect the material over time.
Each coaster measures 6 inches in diameter. This size is generous enough to accommodate most standard glassware, mugs, and small appetizer plates.
Indego Africa reinvests profits from these products directly into education and training programs for the women artisans in Rwanda who handcraft them. Your purchase helps provide these makers with the resources to grow their businesses and support their communities.
The fringe is a decorative design element crafted using traditional weaving techniques. While the natural fibers are durable, they are intended to have a textured, organic look that holds its shape well with normal use.
