Linen Tales Natural Placemat with Fringed Edge

Create a naturally refined table setting with the Linen Tales Natural Linen Placemat with Fringed Edge. Handmade in Lithuania from 100% European linen, this stone-washed placemat combines the relaxed texture of natural flax with a delicate fringed edge for an understated finishing detail.

The versatile unbleached natural color provides a sophisticated neutral foundation for everything from everyday breakfasts and relaxed family meals to dinner parties, holiday tables, and more formal entertaining. Pair it with white porcelain, handcrafted ceramics, natural wood, glassware, or coordinating linen napkins to create a layered table setting rich in natural texture.

Woven from 215 g/m² linen and stone washed for additional softness, the fabric has the relaxed character for which European linen is prized while remaining durable enough for repeated use. The small, delicate fringe along the edge gives the placemat an artisan finish without overwhelming its clean, contemporary design.

Measuring approximately 14" × 18", each placemat creates a generous foundation for an individual place setting. Combine several around the dining table for a coordinated tablescape or mix the color with complementary natural linen tones for a more collected look.

Certified European Linen

The linen is OEKO-TEX® certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances, and EUROPEAN FLAX® certified, supporting traceable European-grown flax cultivated responsibly without artificial irrigation or genetically modified organisms.

Linen Tales' focus on high-quality European flax reflects a philosophy of conscious consumption: creating durable textiles intended to be used repeatedly and enjoyed for years rather than treated as disposable home décor.  As they say, we want to encourage a “less waste, conscious consumption" mindset.

Linen is the strongest natural fiber, has unique bacteriologic properties, and is less prone to wear and tear down. Your favorite linen pieces can last you for many years with proper care!

Care

Machine wash at up to 40°C / 100°F to help minimize shrinkage. Avoid harsh powder detergents. Oxygen-based bleach should only be used on white linen.

For best results, hang dry. If tumble drying is necessary, use a low setting and remove the linen while still slightly damp. Iron for a crisp table setting or embrace linen's naturally relaxed, gently crinkled texture.
