New! Flamingo Placemats

By Lee Franklin

New Flamingo Placemats by Inkabilly

HAPPY NEW YEAR! We hope you are settling in comfortably into 2019! We're kicking the year off with NEW! FLAMINGO PLACEMATS!

Phew ... We have finally added placemats to our Flamingo collection! This has been on the to-do list for quite a while, and so after yet another customer request, we bumped them up the queue and they are now live on our website... woop!

Made to match our Flamingo Coasters, they are available in sets of 4 and 6, and as with all our placemats and coasters, they feature the stunning high gloss finish, which is so easy to clean .... and super saturated colours. These placemats really will brighten up any mealtime! Fabulous Pink Flamingos on a tropical background of turquoise blue skies and luscious palm leaves, just the job to whisk you off to warm tropical beaches ... or bring back memories of your last summer holiday ... whichever it is, they will certainly warm up dark chilly days this Winter.

EDIT 8/22: We have now retired our Flamingo collection ... but you can still order our wonderful Flamingos by contacting us directly and we'll make some just for you!
