Know before you buy
These placemats are not machine washable or stain-resistant. To clean, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth without harsh chemicals, and allow it to air dry completely.
Because each placemat is handwoven from natural Iraca palm fibers, you should expect slight variations in color, texture, and weave. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that no two pieces are identical.
The Caracoli Placemats are designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight, moisture, or outdoor elements may cause the natural palm fibers to degrade or discolor over time.
Each placemat measures 15 inches in diameter. This size is standard for most dinner settings, providing ample room for a full-sized dinner plate while still showcasing the intricate woven border.
No, the Caracoli Placemats are not reversible. They feature a finished top side designed to display the intricate weaving technique, while the underside is structured to provide stability on your table surface.
