Paper placemats? Yes, please.
Who ever thought a placemat made of paper could make the dinner table look so elegant? These made-in-Italy placemats are crafted from waxed paper (really!) that’s both water and stain resistant, and suited for just about any table setting. They require nothing more than a quick wipedown with a damp cloth to clean, making them as easy to care for as they are on the eyes.
