About this Product
At-home cafe time has never been more fun with our sashiko café mat.
Not only are the sashiko embroidered fabrics pretty to look at, but these fabrics, with traditional visible mending embroidery, are also surprisingly tough and durable, making them a perfect choice for everyday use.
Available in limited quantities due to the limited materials, each item is perfectly imperfect, with no two exactly alike.
✼ SIZE ✼ * Approximately 14.5 cm (H) x 23.5 cm (W) or 5.7 inches x 9.25 inches. * Please allow for slight size variations, as these are handmade items.

HOW TO CARE - Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle in cold or warm water using a gentle detergent. Line dry.
