Cotton Placemats -Set of 2- Biscuit and Brown
Soft, unique cotton placemats with white hand stitching
- Complimenting patterns and colours on each side for more styling options
- 33 x 45cm
- Hand stitched by women empowered by fairtrade company Basha
Soft cotton placemats made from upcycled saris and hand stitched together in straight rows of white thread. Each side features a different pattern and colour that is complimentary. So you can choose matching sides or mix and match the different sides.
Each set includes two placemats.
It takes hours of careful hand stitching in even straight rows to create this beautiful piece of work from repurposed saris. This ancient craft of Kantha stitching has meant many saris have been recycled over the generations. We think Basha's artistry is some of the best in its region!

The fabric is recycled cotton, so it is very soft and snuggly, with the endearing signs of some fading. In thinning cotton areas, the tradition is to carefully sew a patch from the same sari over this portion, and each placemat may feature this craft. If you would prefer to see more photos, please contact us. I would be happy to supply you with them.
Dimensions: 33 x 45 cm
Colours: Boysenberry, light brown, dark brown, rust and natural

These placemats can be machine washed on a gentle, cold cycle. The close stitching help maintain the shape of the cloth. To extend the mat's life, we suggest you limit the number of washes. The saris are washed before they are sewn and are washed again before shipping. They arrive soft, clean and beautiful.
If you are unhappy with your placemats, we offer you a 100% money-back guarantee.

Meet the Makers
The women of Basha are living examples of transformation. Each woman who was once vulnerable to exploitation is now secure. She is working in a safe and caring work environment, paid a livable wage and has had a savings program established. Each one is given life skills training and specific training for her role in the Basha enterprise, according to her abilities and dreams. So she takes great pride in her work, and if you have the delight of owning one of the blankets she has hand-stitched you will find her signature is in the corner of the blanket.
