Know before you buy
Because these are made from natural fibers, they should not be submerged in water or machine washed. Simply wipe them down with a slightly damp cloth to remove crumbs or spills, and allow them to air dry completely.
While the woven raffia provides a protective layer for your table, it is not designed to withstand extremely hot cookware. We recommend using trivets for hot pots or pans to prevent potential scorching or damage to the natural fibers.
No. Because each placemat is handmade from natural raffia, you should expect slight variations in color, weave, and texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of artisanal craftsmanship and make each piece one-of-a-kind.
Yes, their rectangular construction is designed to sit flush against your dining surface. However, because they are made from a natural, flexible material, they may occasionally require a light press or being placed under a heavy book if they arrive slightly curled from shipping.
These placemats are suitable for covered outdoor areas, but they should not be left exposed to direct rain or harsh weather conditions. Prolonged moisture can cause the natural raffia to weaken or discolor over time.
