The beauty of our design is the look of fine straw but the practicality of indoor/outdoor placemat.  The braid is sewn on a circular sewing machine by hand.  From the initial round mat the design options have grown to over 15 shapes.  Deborah is constantly striving for new textures and ideas to keep the table exciting.  The braid is now being sewn in straight seams to allow for mats in squares, rectangles, and octagons transpiring into new developments such as bath and fashion accessories. 

The placemat shapes and colors are designed to complement many decors and liven your favorite dinnerware from Fine Porcelain to casual dinnerware.

Coasters
Our coasters are made of the same material as our placemats.  All are available in over 100 colors and easy to clean.  They have a special backing of vinyl which makes them absorbent.  The coasters are available in rounds, ruffles, and squares. 

Napkin Rings
Our napkin rings are still made in the United States at Deborah Rhodes design studios.  Because the are produced by hand, we are still able to offer some of the original designs.  Our napkin ring "library" consists of diverse styles using glass and crystal beads, feathers, woods, resin, and silk.  The rings are made by our craftsmen that have perfected their quality and durability.

Each season new rings are designed to coordinate with the seasonal introduction of placemats and linens.

Linens 
All of our linens are made in Europe working with the same factory for 10 years that has created our signature weaves. The factory is unique, in that it converts raw flax grown in France and Belgium into linen threads. The threads are dyed using the same time tested handmade formulas producing over 100 colors. The magic begins on the looms where as many as 600 threads are hand knotted weaving the many texture and patterns Deborah is known for.   

The embroidered linens are made in Vietnam in a small factory where the designs are realized from sketches interpreting the concept into the finished product.  The handwork is passed down from generation to generation using embroidery techniques that go back centuries.
