Mexican Table Runner

Mexican table runner woven in bold Southwest colour — bright horizontal stripes and rich yarn-dyed texture, cut 13–14 in. wide in lengths 72 / 90 / 108 / 120 in. Our Mexican table runner is yarn-dyed cotton with a traditional serape stripe, sturdy enough for fiestas and casual family tables alike.

Mexican is a stripe with heritage

A Mexican table runner is the serape stripe pattern that lifts a table into celebration mode — birthdays, fiestas, Cinco de Mayo, or just a bright summer lunch. Bold horizontal bands in yellow, red, blue, green and terracotta on a natural or cream ground.

Yarn-dyed cotton, not printed

Woven from yarn-dyed 100% cotton — the stripe is woven into the fabric with pre-coloured yarns, not printed on top. Result: the pattern is dimensional, two-sided, and never cracks in the wash. Small tassels finish the short ends.
