Leather look and easy to clean

I have several sets of these placemats and can’t say enough good things about them. They have a really unique look that my guests always comment on. They look almost like a thin tanned leather, but are easy to just wipe down to clean. I ordered this new set for Christmas and they showed up promptly and look great with my tablescape.

Love them…but

I love the color, and simplicity of these placemats very much. I was however disappointed that a drop of olive oil ended up staining one of the placemats. This was so disappointing as they are very pricey!

Looks like leather!

I’ve had these placements (and just got more!) in the brown and charcoal colors for a year and really like them. Critical to wipe them clean the moment you spill on them (oils can seep in) but otherwise they are wry low maintenance. And can’t beat the price for an alternative to $$$ leather placemats!

Wonderful color selection. We have browns in the fall and this is a soft shade not a drab one.
