Know before you buy
Kutnu is a historic, artisanal fabric originating from Gaziantep, Turkey, dating back to the 16th century. It is traditionally woven using a blend of silk and cotton, though this modern version utilizes a high-quality mix of rayon and cotton to achieve its signature smooth, lustrous texture.
These placemats are machine washable on a cold cycle. To maintain the integrity of the fabric, do not bleach or tumble dry; air drying is recommended. If you prefer professional care, they can be dry cleaned using low heat.
Measuring 20.5" x 15", these placemats offer a generous surface area. They comfortably accommodate a standard dinner plate, cutlery, and glassware, providing a substantial foundation for your table setting.
While the fabric has a sophisticated, smooth silk-like texture, it is crafted for functional use. The blend of rayon and cotton provides a durable structure that holds up well for regular dining while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
The Hayflower design features a curated interplay of earthy hues. These tones are designed to be versatile, grounding your table setting with a warm, natural, and refined color scheme that complements various dinnerware styles.
