Know before you buy
These placemats are not machine washable or stain-resistant. To clean, gently spot-clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely; avoid submerging the natural Iraca palm fibers in water.
No, these placemats are not heat-resistant. They are designed for decorative and dining use, so we recommend using a trivet for any hot pots or pans.
Because each piece is handwoven by artisans using natural fibers, there will be slight variations in size and color. This uniqueness is a hallmark of the traditional craftsmanship behind each placemat.
These placemats are intended for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight or moisture outdoors may cause the natural Iraca palm fibers to fade or degrade over time.
No, the Selva placemats are sold individually. This allows you to purchase the exact number needed for your table setting or to mix and match with other styles.
