Mercedes Salazar Mil Hojas Placemat

Because these are made from natural handwoven raffia, they should be spot-cleaned only. Gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or crumbs, and avoid submerging them in water or using harsh cleaning agents.

While raffia is a durable natural fiber, it is not designed to withstand high heat. We recommend using these for decorative purposes or standard dinnerware, rather than placing hot pots or pans directly onto the surface.

The embroidery is crafted with artisanal quality, but like any decorative textile, it requires gentle handling. To keep the leaves looking their best, avoid heavy friction or spills, and store them flat when not in use to prevent the embroidery from snagging.

Since each piece is handwoven in Colombia, there may be slight variations in the weave and color tones. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that every placemat has a unique, one-of-a-kind character.

They are perfect for adding a tropical touch to a covered patio or outdoor dining area. However, because they are made of natural fibers, they should be kept dry and brought inside after use to prevent moisture damage or fading from direct sun exposure.
