These intricate raffia placemats are carefully crafted using detailed handwoven patterning techniques, giving them a rich texture, and curated feel.  This distinctive black and natural striped pattern is a traditional Betsimisaraka motif historically used in the region of northeast Madagascar where our artisan and farmer partners live.  The linen-colored fibers are the natural undyed color of the raffia.

Their sheen and natural beauty are sure to give a rustic elegance to your home.
