Natural Handwoven Placemat with Pink Leather Edge – NDONN Weaving

£25

A Modern Table Setting Rooted in Tradition

Handwoven in Senegal using the traditional NDONN weaving technique, this natural placemat blends heritage craft with contemporary design. Finished with a soft pink leather edge, it brings warmth, texture, and subtle colour to your table.

Functional Yet Beautiful

Both practical and decorative, this placemat protects your table while elevating everyday meals and special gatherings. Its natural fibres and refined leather trim make it equally suited to relaxed breakfasts or more formal settings.

Artisan Story – Keeping Skills Alive

Each placemat is woven by women in Senegalese villages using reeds from Guinea Conakry and palm fibres from Senegal. Grandmothers teach younger women this once-forgotten skill, preserving tradition while creating sustainable income for artisan families.
