Poppie Placemat

SKU: TT0529U
Sale price£36.00

Designed in honour of Remembrance Day, our Poppy placemats are a tribute to both tradition and craftsmanship. Each piece is handwoven in the town of Sandoná, Colombia, using fine Iraca palm — a material celebrated for its delicacy and strength.

At the base of the placemat, a wreath of poppies is delicately embroidered with dyed Iraca palm, creating a striking yet refined design. Symbolic and elegant, these placemats bring both meaning and beauty to the table — a timeless piece to be cherished year after year.

In support of this important cause, 10% of proceeds from every Poppy placemat will be donated to the Poppy Appeal.
