What size are these placemats?

The listing does not state dimensions, so confirm the size with the seller before ordering. Standard placemats run roughly 13 by 19 inches; check that the size suits your plates and table.

Are they machine washable?

Linen is washable, but expect shrinkage and wrinkles. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and iron while slightly damp to bring the pattern back flat.

How does the custom design work?

You submit your own text or photo with the order, and Aperturee sends a proof of the new design before making the set. Review the proof carefully, since changes after approval may not be possible.

Do they work under hot plates?

Linen handles warm dishes better than synthetic mats, but it is thin. Use a trivet under very hot pans straight from the oven.

How do linen placemats compare with cotton or PVC?

Linen is more textured and breathable than cotton and far more natural than PVC. PVC wipes clean and never wrinkles; linen looks better but needs washing and ironing.
