Know before you buy
Because these placemats are hand-woven from natural Iraca palm, they are not washable. We recommend gently spot-cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove debris, avoiding any harsh chemicals or soaking the material.
No, these placemats are not heat-resistant. They are designed for decorative and table-setting purposes, so please use a trivet or heat pad for hot dishes to protect the natural fibers.
These are intended for indoor use only. The natural Iraca palm fibers are not waterproof and may be damaged by moisture, humidity, or direct exposure to the elements.
Each piece is unique. Because they are crafted by hand using traditional techniques, you may notice slight variations in the weave or color distribution, which is a hallmark of their artisanal quality.
To maintain their shape and prevent the fibers from fraying, store them flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them to ensure the wire frame remains intact.
