Le Panier Placemat

The natural abaca fibers are visibly handwoven, giving each placemat a unique texture that feels sturdy yet soft to the touch. They dress up our simple weeknight dinners without looking fussy, and clean-up is just a quick wipe. Already ordered another set for the holiday table.

Set these out for a dinner party and they instantly made the table feel warmer—the natural fiber has this subtle sheen under candlelight. Wiped up a bit of spilled wine with a damp cloth and it came right off, no staining.

The handwoven abaca texture is what sold me — you can actually see and feel the variation in the fibers, and they catch the light nicely under candles. They lie flat without curling at the edges, unlike a cheaper woven set I had before.
