Raffia Shibori Table Runner in Turtle Pattern in Green

A shibori-dyed raffia table runner in verdant green, with the turtle shell pattern — a nod to the endangered Madagascar radiated tortoise. Relaxed enough for daily use, good enough for people coming over.

The raffia is handwoven first, then hand-dyed, so the pattern falls differently on every runner.

Dyed and undyed woven Madagascar raffia.

Sizing

14 in by 65 in.

Care

Spot clean with cool water, with a little soap if it needs it, then rinse. Lay flat to dry. Steam iron if you want to.

Please note

Hand-weaving and hand-dyeing both vary, so size and colour differ a little from the photographs. Tanana Madagascar is the social enterprise of Conservation through Poverty Alleviation International, and returns 100% of its profits to its artisans and farmers through that organisation.
