Know before you buy
Abaca is a natural, sustainable fiber derived from a species of banana plant. It is highly valued for its exceptional strength and durability, making it an ideal material for textured, long-lasting table linens.
Because these placemats are crafted from natural fibers, they should be spot-cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemicals, as this can damage the natural material and the construction of the coiled circles.
Yes, the placemats are meticulously sewn to ensure they lay flat. While the texture is raised due to the coiled design, the construction is stable enough to support dinnerware securely.
The neutral, light tone of the bleached abaca is highly versatile. It pairs beautifully with both minimalist, monochromatic table settings and vibrant, colorful dinnerware, adding a layer of organic texture without overwhelming your centerpiece.
They are designed for both. The inherent durability of abaca fiber allows them to withstand regular use, while the artisanal, artistic design elevates the look of your table for dinner parties and holidays.
