Fringed Biscotti Placemat- Sold Individually

Banana plant fiber & cotton blend, edged with coconut leaf fibers. Handwoven on traditional handlooms. Hand-knotted fringe. Renewable, durable and sustainable.

Crafted by rural weavers from Southern India. Traditional weavers create these choice handwoven placemats from a blend of banana plant stem and cotton thread.
