Round Palm Fibre Placemats | Set of 8 In Basket With Lid

Our natural Palm Fibre Placemat Set x 8 are a beautiful way to introduce woven texture to your table. Timeless and functional, they will look great with our favourite tones of timber and chalky whites, paired with earthy ceramics and linens. 

The basket that is included in this set serves as a practical vessel for storing your placemats in one place in between use. It's also ideal for holding or carrying napkins, cutlery and condiments when entertaining. 

Handmade by fair trade artisans in a village community of Bangladesh, each piece is assembled by bundling kaisa grass; wrapping them in fine strips of date palm fibre and coiling and weaving them into shape. The women who make these pieces work from home and a genuine Fair Trade partnership ensures they are paid fairly for their time and skills, among many other benefits.
