This festive and folkloric print by Aino-Maija Metsola is called Marimekko Ketunmarja, or "Fox Berry." As the name suggests, it depicts a whimsical woodland scene of foxes and birds among juicy berries. The greige (grey + beige) backdrop allows these crisp colors to truly pop on this Marimekko placemat. Acrylic-coated cotton makes minor messes easily wiped clean, but also allows it to be machine washable for more major spills. It feels coarser than untreated cotton, but still feels like fabric and not like vinyl of earlier placemats. Plus, the eco-friendly treatment helps to avoid wrinkling when folded!
Care: Machine washable. Follow instructions on tag

Love these placemats! The pattern and colors are perfect for late fall and winter and look especially good set with white or red dishes. The acrylic coating makes the placemats resistant to spills and stains.
