Blue-Grey Hand Woven Checkered Cotton Placemats (Set of 4), "Central Highlands Blue"

The weavers of Chiapas work hard, not only to keep making traditional items with traditional techniques, but also to use their centuries-old techniques to create new designs for the world. An example is this set of four blue-grey place mats with white windowpane checks, suitable for any modern home. Woven by hand on a backstrap loom, it comes from the Aid to Artisans organization, which works to help the indigenous people of this state maintain their traditional lifestyles.
