The tablecloth that you can buy at Fantastik is a classic piece of Mexican popular culture that has been produced by the same factory for more than 50 years. If you have ever traveled around Mexico, for sure you must have seen this practical and colourful tablecloth on tables and counters in restaurants, taquerías or market stalls across the country, from Sonora to Oaxaca.
We import the oilcloth directly from Mexico, and that’s why we can offer a high quality product for a good price.
The models we have selected are original designs from the 50s and 60s, and the floral patterns are amongst the most popular. Here are some of the models of oilcloth that you can buy by the metre from the comfort of your home.
What is the oilcloth?
The oilcloth is a resin coated fabric whose composition of PVC, cotton and polyester makes it water and odour resistant. It is also a non-stain material that is easy to maintain and very durable. This is why it is a highly demanded product for covering kitchen tables, worktops or any other surface that you want to protect.
Tips on buying the oilcloth by the meter
- The width of the table cloth is 1.20 metres (standard measure).
- You choose the length. Each unit you select corresponds to 0.5 meter.
- By choosing 2 units, you are buying 1 metre. For 1.5 metres you must mark 3 units, for 2 metres mark 4 units and so on. The metres you choose will be sent to you in a single piece.
- If you’re interested in purchasing any non-standard length (1,20 meters, 2,70 meters, etc), please send us an email.
- To use the oilcloth as a tablecloth, remember to add about 15 cm per side (30 cm in total). This way, the extra tablecloth will naturally hang down, just like the image.
- No product returns for the Mexican oilcloth.
Different uses of the Mexican oilcloth
Normally the oilcloth is used as a tablecloth or to cover furniture, but it can also be used for sewing and handicrafts. As it is malleable and allows you to bend it, sew it and work with it in an easy way, it is often used to make various derivative products. In our online shop you will find purses and cases made from this material. Go ahead and make your own creations.
