For those who feel the good ol’ tablecloth is from a bygone age, here’s something to lift your setting… A new addition to the Mungo table linen range: Warp Stripe Placemats.
Whether it’s a quiet dinner in, or a few guests around the table, we’ve got you covered (well your table at least…). Colourful, contemporary and easy to clean, they’re the perfect mealtime complement. With a colour palette inspired by the soft blues and earthen pinks that dot the natural landscape of Plettenberg Bay surrounds, where you’ll find our full production hub.
A tabletop addition designed to decorate, protect and entertain, our Warp Stripe Placements also feature a true selvedge. Particular only to looms that use a shuttle (in this case of our 1960s Rutis), a selvedge is a tightly woven, non-fraying edge. The result is a placemat with a classic finish, that requires no extra hemming.
Featuring a cotton warp and a linen weft – a formidable fibre combination that gives your Mungo mats a suitable handle that’s built for longevity.
Anything else? They’re reversible. So both sides look just as good – even if you slop a bit of sauce on it…
So there you have it: a backdrop to your breakfast, or some colour beneath your chicken curry. Something for the entertainers. Or for those who (like us) think a casual meal in is worth elevating.
Machine washable.
Mungo contributes 1% of our annual turnover to our CSR MOVE, which seeks to empower the Plettenberg Bay community in which our mill is based.
They are nice – but look a bit like dish cloth :(:(

Hi Caroline, thank you for the honest feedback! Some of our weaves do have a more traditional, classic feel — but we’d love to understand what you’re seeing. Feel free to pop us a mail at hello@mungo.co.za if you’d like to chat more or share a photo — we’re always happy to take a closer look.:)
