Mistari Placemats (Set of 4)
A table setting doesn’t have to be dramatic to matter — sometimes it just needs clothes that understand gravity.
What it is:
The Mistari Placemats are a set of four handloomed organic cotton placemats crafted by artisans in Kenya from cotton sourced in Uganda and Kenya. Soft to the touch and thoughtfully proportioned, they bring a tactile warmth to your table without ever needing to shout.
Why you’ll actually use it:
Because everyday meals deserve more than a paper towel and a shrug. These placemats make breakfast feel like an intention, dinner feel like a plan, and any gathering feel like it was curated by someone who genuinely gives a damn about details — even if you don’t plan ahead. They’re soft under plates, sturdy under forks, and unfussy enough that you’ll actually put them on the table instead of leaving them in the drawer.
