Placemat sourcing from India.
Placemats sit across textile and craft clusters — hand-woven cotton and jute from Panipat, beaded and sequinned pieces from Jaipur and Delhi NCR, embossed leather from Agra, metallic braided and quilted formats from Delhi. Asia Sourcing manages development, pattern lock, QC and export documentation.

Wash-fastness and shrinkage
Textile placemats carry two retail-level risks: colour-fastness (ISO 105-C06 washing) and shrinkage on first wash (ISO 3759). Our development spec locks tested parameters on PPS and we attach the wash-care label with every production SKU; our retail buyers specify laundering tolerance at brief so returns don't come back after the first wash cycle.
