Stylish Entertaining Trays








We love these laminated trays for carefree entertaining. Just wipe clean with a damp cloth! The fabrics are laminated onto sturdy plastic - many are Bahama Handprints, others are the company's chic interpretation of classic patterns. The red elephant print and the blue Suzani tray shown here were actually inspired by Doris Duke's Hawaiian estate, "Shangri La",and her passionate love of Islamic art. The brown Tortoise fabric and the classic blue Ikat are two of our other favorite fabrics. For sizes and pricing, please visit our website.

As a result, each piece is imbued with the luster of eternity...
