Libeco Pacific Place mat

This placemat is designed for durability and is machine washable up to 40°C, making it practical for everyday use. Because it is made from high-quality European flax, it is naturally resilient and actually softens and improves with frequent washing.

The fringe is designed as a decorative finish, but like any textile with raw edges, you may see a few loose threads after the first wash. We recommend trimming any stray threads with sharp scissors to maintain the clean, intentional look of the fringe.

Linen naturally has a relaxed, rumpled texture that is part of its charm. If you prefer a crisp look, you can iron the placemat while it is still slightly damp, but it is perfectly acceptable to use it with its natural, lived-in aesthetic.

The patina refers to the way the heavy-duty linen fibers settle and soften with use and laundering. Rather than wearing out, the fabric develops a unique character and a more relaxed drape, making it look better the longer you own it.

With a substantial weight of 19 oz/yd², this is a heavy-duty linen that offers more protection than standard, lightweight placemats. However, for very hot cookware or serving dishes, we still recommend using a dedicated trivet.
