Know before you buy
Abaca is a durable, natural fiber derived from a species of banana plant native to the Philippines. It is known for its exceptional strength and textured, organic aesthetic, making it a sturdy and stylish choice for everyday placemats.
Yes, each placemat measures 15 inches by 15 inches. This square format provides a generous surface area that comfortably accommodates standard dinner plates while leaving room for cutlery.
Because these are made from natural fibers, you should avoid submerging them in water. Simply wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth and ensure the placemat is completely dry before stacking or storing it to prevent moisture buildup.
Each set is crafted by artisans, meaning there may be subtle variations in the weave or the sailor's knot detailing. These slight irregularities are a hallmark of handmade goods and contribute to the unique character of each piece.
Yes, the natural abaca weave provides a soft, protective layer between your dinnerware and a glass surface. However, because the material is woven, we recommend being mindful of liquids, as spills could potentially seep through the gaps.
