Know before you buy
Sinamay is a natural fiber derived from the processed stalks of the abaca plant, a species of banana tree. It is known for its durability and structural integrity, which allows it to be woven into the distinct, textured pattern seen in these placemats.
Because these are made from natural woven fibers, they should not be submerged in water or machine washed. Simply wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely.
While sinamay is a sturdy material, it is not designed to withstand direct contact with extremely hot cookware. We recommend using trivets or heat-safe pads under hot serving dishes to protect the fibers and your table surface.
Yes, the woven construction is designed to sit flush against your tabletop. Because they are handmade from natural fibers, you may notice slight variations in the weave, which adds to the character and organic aesthetic of the set.
The woven abaca construction is quite durable and provides a stable, firm base for standard dinnerware. They are well-suited for everyday use, though they are best suited for flat-bottomed plates and bowls.
