These exquisite placemats are carefully crafted using an intricate handwoven patterning technique, giving them a rich texture, and curated feel. A special 'clasped weft' weaving method is used to create the distinctive zigzag chevron pattern.
They are made from two unique types of fiber:
- Ceranchia wild silk, which is a species of silk only found in Madagascar. The golden textured yarn is the natural, undyed color of the wild silk.
- Natural, undyed raffia which has a smooth satin-like sheen.
These beauties are sure to give an earthy elegance to your home, bringing warmth and interest to your space.
