Know before you buy
Because these are made from natural fibers, they should be hand-washed only. Gently wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed, then let them air dry completely to prevent moisture buildup.
No, these are not dishwasher safe. The natural raffia and banana leaf fibers are delicate and will lose their shape or degrade if exposed to the high heat and water pressure of a dishwasher.
The coasters are dyed using organic materials, which are generally stable. However, to be safe, avoid placing them on light-colored or porous surfaces if they are soaking wet, as natural dyes can occasionally bleed when heavily saturated.
This is a traditional, heritage craft where artisans wrap raffia palm fibers around banana leaf stems to create a sturdy, coiled structure. This method results in a durable, textured coaster that is much more substantial and unique than mass-produced alternatives.
Yes, the thick, coiled construction provides excellent insulation against heat and condensation. They are sturdy enough to protect delicate surfaces from water rings and temperature damage.
