For SM lovers, the SM store in Quiapo was converted to their discount outlet. Almost all items there are on sale and one can find gold among the dross if one is patient enough.

The original Chilwich placemats are available at Bloomingdale’s in the USA and I got yours at Bergdorf’s. They are used in the Joel Robuchon restaurants, I noticed. They are still plastic but eminently practical and hygienic as they can be easily rinsed off. Great for casual dining. They should be a dollar apiece, even the knock offs, but typically they are never quite right.

Risa, some were standard placemat size, others squares that were smaller… no, I don’t think they would make a good rug really… but you should check them out if you are interested…

Hi MM, what’s the approximate size of the mats? You said that these were easy to clean and looked like natural weave? I have half a mind to sew these all together, edge it with cloth and make it an area rug. Natural weaves are really nice, but I am thinking of the headache with a 3 year old in the house who loves chocolate milk, candy and all kinds of gooey things.

What do you think?

I think I am one of the few who love SM Department stores! My mom adores the Home/Houseware section! We can both stay in the store for hours just walking around and looking at stuffs! :) You just need to be patient if you’re looking for unique finds! :)
