ASPEN Placemats - Hand Block Printed Kora (Unbleached Cotton), Fair Trade | Set of 4, 14"x20" by Sustainable Threads


ASPEN— Hand Block Printed Kora Cotton Placemats - Set of 4
Naturally striking and consciously made, these placemats are crafted from 100% Kora cotton — an unprocessed and unbleached fabric that retains its natural texture and earthy character. Featuring contemporary hand block printed motifs, each piece brings warmth, character, and craftsmanship to your dining table.
Designed in the United States and handcrafted in Northern India, these placemats are created by an artisan community displaced from their ancestral land. Through long-term Fair Trade partnerships, hand block printing has become both a revival of tradition and a vital livelihood — preserving skills, generating income, and offering dignity in the face of displacement.
Each placemat is printed by hand using carved wooden blocks and azo-free, low-impact dyes. This labor-intensive process requires patience, precision, and multiple impressions to create every finished design. The result is a piece that carries both craftsmanship and care — ideal for everyday use or special gatherings.
