Handmade in a remote desert village in northwest India, these placemats draw their rich blue colors from natural indigo dyes, now extremely rare as synthetics replace indigo plant extract. Taking their patterns from local mandanas-decorative wall art inspired by the region's flora and fauna-farm families are able to convert their locally grown, pesticide-free cotton into these stunning placemats and runner that provide a crucial livelihood in an area long devastated by drought.
