Our individually crafted indigo placemats are the perfect complement to your fine china or a tasteful addition to even the simplest of meals. The word indigo is derived from the Greek word for the dye “indikon,” meaning a product from India, the earliest major center for indigo production.

The traditional Jamini design with a tea leaf motif is hand block printed on white canvas using a dye resistant paste made with mud (locally known as dabu). The fabric is then placed in an indigo dye bath to achieve the rich color. Once the resist is removed, the eye catching patterns remain in white against the colored background.

Sold in sets of two, they are easy to combine with linen you already own or other designs in our collection to create a delightful table setting.

*Some color rub off is to be expected in indigo hand printed textiles. We recommend cold washing separately before use.
