This placemat is a one-of-a-kind, unique artwork. Even though the design is repeated within the collection, Kaross embroiderers interpret each design individually, combining colours and stitches to create perfectly crafted items. The artwork features African animals framed in the characteristic Kaross Signature geometric borders.

Bringing people together in a way that makes the world a better place. It is not simply about the beauty and passion that goes into creating incredible hand-embroidered works of functional art. It’s about the long-lasting benefits of job-creation within a community.

Materials: This placemat is 100% hand-embroidered with acrylic yarn on cotton fabric, and has 100% fade free washability. The placemat is padded with a thin layer of Vilene to give it a soft but firm finishing.

Colours: Namib Rust – a mix of Brown, Navy Blue, Paprika, Khaki, Dusty Pink Cream and Gold.
