Water Hyacinth Placemat – Natural Tiger Fringe

Warm, straw-toned and quietly textured, this handwoven placemat brings a calm layer between plate and table — protective, tactile, and naturally beautiful. Subtle, tiger-inspired striping and a soft fringe add gentle movement to the setting, inviting everyday meals to feel more considered. 🌾🍽️ Crafted from renewable water hyacinth by skilled artisans in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, its tight, rectangular weave feels sturdy in the hand and lays flat for a clean, ordered look. The natural tan and cream palette pairs easily with stoneware and wood, while the short fringe on the ends softens the edges. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, shake out crumbs, and air-dry; store flat to keep its shape. Approx. 55 × 37 cm. 🌿 Natural Water Hyacinth: A renewable plant fibre with a warm, earthy tone and satisfying texture. 🐅 Subtle Stripe Motif: Bands of weave echo tiger markings, bringing character without overpowering the table. 🧽 Easy Care: Everyday-friendly — wipe, shake, and air-dry; no fuss. 🧡 Table Kindness: A durable layer that helps guard surfaces from scuffs and heat from everyday dishes.
