This placemat is available in two very different styles: a cheerful, colorful version in rich hues of pink, red, teal, and dark green, or a more understated version in natural, gray, and light blue tones. As different as the color schemes may be, the sets are identical in material, weave, and workmanship. The fabrics are woven from certified organic cotton in a sturdy canvas weave. The durable fabric can be washed at 60 degrees and withstands many washes—so things can get a little more cheerful at the table now and then… And if you like the colorful stripes as much as we do, you’ll find matching tablecloths, table runners, napkins, and pillowcases in our collection as well.

Before first use

The placemat is sewn immediately after weaving and receives no finishing treatment; as a result, the fabric may shrink up to 7% lengthwise during the first wash, which is already accounted for in the cut. To preserve the fabric and colors, the manufacturer recommends soaking the placemat in cold water for 24 hours before first use, or washing it in the machine on the wool cycle in cold water without detergent, followed by a wash at 30°C with a small amount of detergent.
