Madagascar Mixed Coasters: Colorful Protection, Conservation Purpose

Palm Fiber, Party-Ready Pattern

Artisans on Madagascar’s east coast harvest raffia palm, sun-dry the fibers, and coil them into sturdy 4-inch rounds. Each set of four features a different color band—terracotta, sea-foam, sunflower, and natural straw—created with plant-based dyes. Slip them under cold drinks or hot mugs to shield wood from rings while adding a pop of island hue. Your purchase delivers Prosperity Wages and supports Missouri Botanical Garden projects that protect nearby forests, transforming sustainable raffia harvests into reliable income and conservation wins.

Sip & Style Ideas

• Coffee Bar Brightener – Stack by the espresso machine; guests pick their favorite hue.
• Patio Party – Mix sets so every drink has a unique coaster; sturdy weave stands up to outdoor use.
• Gift Ready – Tie with twine around a mug or wine bottle for an eco-friendly hostess gift.

PRODUCT CARE

• Dust: Shake crumbs off or wipe with a dry cloth.
• Spot Clean: Dab raffia lightly with a damp cloth; avoid soaking to keep coils firm.
• Shape Refresh: Mist back lightly, press flat, air-dry.
• Sunlight: Store away from harsh, direct rays to preserve bright dyes.

ARTISAN NOTES: Band colors, weave tension, and coil thickness vary slightly by maker—every coaster is one of a kind. Need a specific palette or larger quantity? Email support@tenbythree.org and we’ll match you with the closest sets.
