Handcrafted Linen-Cotton Coasters | Multi Coloured Table Decor | Handmade Drink Coasters

A Story Rooted in Craft and Culture

In the narrow lanes of a weaving settlement in Andhra Pradesh, the day often begins with the sound of looms warming up and artisans gathering around their simple wooden workstations. Among them is a family that has been crafting table textiles for three generations, passing down stitches, patterns, and techniques like family treasures. The Edge Coaster with Tassels carries a slice of this legacy.

These coasters draw inspiration from a time when homes relied heavily on handcrafted accessories—each piece created with intent, patience, and deep respect for craft. The vibrant tassels and open-weave structure echo traditional weaving styles often seen in rural textile clusters. Over the years, this craft evolved to accommodate modern needs while retaining its heritage. The multi-colour palette used in these coasters symbolizes celebration, community, and Indian festive warmth—making them not just functional pieces, but also small carriers of cultural memory.

Speciality of the Product

What makes these coasters truly special is the combination of three artistic elements—handweaving, tassel finishing, and colour harmony. Skilled artisans shape each coaster using linen-cotton yarns, creating a breathable, lightweight base. The tassels at the edge are carefully knotted and trimmed by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are perfectly identical.

The open-weave makes the coasters stand out visually while providing natural ventilation, which prevents moisture buildup and keeps glasses or cups stable. Every coaster has a subtle texture that feels organic and refined at the same time.

The elongated 6×3 inch size makes the coaster suitable for cups, glasses, small bowls, and even candles if you use them for décor. The linen-cotton blend brings together sturdiness and softness, making the coasters durable yet pleasant to touch. Multi-colour threads are interwoven to create a lively blend of hues—ideal for those who appreciate cheerful, handcrafted home accessories.

Tassels are added to the edges not only as a decorative highlight but also as a mark of craftsmanship. In Andhra weaving traditions, tassels often symbolized completion and served as a distinct signature of the artisan.

How It Differs from Machine-Made Products

Machine-made coasters often have flat, uniform patterns and lack character. In contrast, these handcrafted coasters carry slight variations that add charm and authenticity. Each knot, tassel, and weave is guided by human skill rather than mechanical repetition.

The yarn tension in handwoven products varies subtly, creating an organic texture that cannot be replicated by automated looms. The finishing is softer, the edges feel more natural, and the colours appear richer because artisans work with small batches of dyed yarn rather than mass-produced rolls.

Moreover, handcrafted linen-cotton coasters last longer since artisans pay attention to thread density and weave structure, adjusting it manually as needed.

How to Care

Wash gently using mild detergent

Prefer handwashing to maintain tassel shape

Dry flat in shade to avoid colour fading

Avoid wringing to protect the open-weave structure

Store flat to prevent tassels from tangling

With these simple care steps, your coasters will remain vibrant and sturdy for years.
