Know before you buy
Water vines are a sustainable, fibrous material harvested from the South Pacific. They are prized for their exceptional durability and natural resistance to wear, making them an ideal, eco-friendly choice for high-use tabletop items.
Because these are natural fiber products, you should avoid submerging them in water. Simply wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove crumbs or spills, and ensure they are kept in a dry place to maintain their structural integrity.
Yes, the dense, handwoven construction of the water vines provides a natural barrier against heat. They are suitable for standard dinner plates, though you should avoid placing extremely hot cookware directly from the stove onto the surface.
As these are handcrafted from natural vines, there may be slight variations in the weave and texture that give each piece its unique character. While they are designed to sit level, the organic nature of the material means they may have a subtle, rustic profile rather than the perfectly uniform look of mass-produced plastic mats.
Each placemat comes with a document personally signed by the specific artisan who wove it. This serves as a testament to the craftsmanship involved and provides a direct connection to the remote village artisans who created your piece.
