Go to the shopHandwoven coasters in the Taat tradition of Bengal, made from natural plant fibre that is spun and shaped entirely by hand. The weave carries a quiet, earthy texture that guards a table without hiding it. This is a craft born of thrift. Turning banana stem and jute into something used at every meal, it becomes a small, sustainable set for a home that cares where its objects come from and where they eventually go.
Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to maintain shape and color. Handwash separately. Do not machine wash.
Each piece is handcrafted, so slight variations in colour, texture and dimension are natural and celebrate its handmade origin.
These earn their place on a table you actually use. Set them under tea, coffee, or a cold glass, where the woven fibre soaks up rings and buffers heat so the wood or stone underneath stays unmarked through a whole evening. The natural tone sits easily with ceramic, brass, terracotta, and plain linen. Nothing here fights the tableware.
They travel well beyond the dining table. Use them at a work desk, a bedside, or a balcony chai spot, or keep a few spare for guests. Stacked in their set, they store flat in any drawer.
As a gift, they are small but considered. A set suits a housewarming, a thank-you, or an eco-minded friend, and it scales cleanly into corporate or bulk gifting whenever a light, sustainable token is what the moment calls for. The story travels with them.
Care is easy. Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth after use, and let them air-dry fully before stacking. Keep them out of long soaks and off direct heat, and the fibre holds its shape and colour for years.
Taat weaving comes from the rural traditions of Bengal and Assam, where fibre from plants like jute and the banana stem was worked into mats, seating, and floor coverings for everyday and ceremonial use. A coaster is that same logic shrunk to the size of a cup. Nothing is wasted.
First the fibre is drawn from the stem, then dried in the sun and softened in water before it can be worked. The strands are twisted together into a stronger, workable yarn. It is slow, ordinary work. It is done entirely by hand.
Then the yarn is woven or coiled into a small flat disc, round or squared, packed tight enough to take the weight of a full glass without buckling. The edge is bound so it will not fray. A light finish sets the shape.
No two coasters come out identical. Small shifts in the weave are the mark of the maker, not a fault. The fibre keeps its natural, earthy tone, so the material itself is the only decoration the piece needs.
