Wanting for my sister to return home (when I only traveled 7 hours to see her…) I flipped through her current Wine Spectator.  On page 17 I noticed a well plated pork belly appetizer sitting on a Chilewich placemat.

I had forgotten how much I love Chilewich Plynyl.  Apartment Zero in DC first introduced me to these vinyl products, finely woven to rival cotton.  I have recently also admired Chilewich area rugs in Richmond at La Difference. 

Sandy Chilewich has created innovative floor coverings, table ware, and handbags by weaving vinyl like other fibers.  The result is durable products which combine contemporary function with organic style. 

I see a Market Tote in my future.
