Fancy without being froufrou, these shiny gold-tipped kraft placemats with scalloped edges set the stage for a beautiful table that can be dressed up or dressed down accordingly. We were instantly charmed by the teeny “Bon Appétit” message in the placemat’s center.
Though Meri Meri’s brand has grown exponentially since founder Meredithe’s early days as a mom making cards around her kitchen table in L.A. in 1985 (“Meri Meri” is actually her childhood nickname), the designs have stayed true to their original style. Functional and down-to-earth with just the right hint of flair, they appeal to both kids and adults, brightening up any occasion–even when the occasion is just a Tuesday night.
Understated elegance is never overrated.
