Know before you buy
Because they are made from natural raffia, these placemats should be spot-cleaned only with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the natural fibers.
While they are durable enough for regular use, their intricate embroidery and delicate lacy background make them particularly well-suited for hosting or elevating a standard dinner setting. They are designed to bring a touch of artisanal luxury to any meal.
The placemat features a standard round silhouette designed to accommodate a full dinner plate comfortably. Please check your table dimensions to ensure the round shape fits your specific seating arrangement.
No. Because each piece is meticulously crafted by artisans in Bogotá, there may be slight variations in the embroidery and raffia weave. These small differences are a hallmark of handmade craftsmanship and ensure that each placemat is unique.
It is recommended to use these as decorative placemats rather than heat-resistant trivets. To preserve the integrity of the natural fibers and the embroidery, avoid placing extremely hot cookware directly on the surface.
