Our Story

When my mother-in-law gifted me a set of wicker "basket plates" used with the white paper doilies that bakeries use to line a cake box, I was thrilled! They were super sturdy for any meal and made cleanup a breeze once my guests were gone. For 30 years, these plates have been through it all—dinner parties, hosting my three daughter's soccer and lacrosse dinners, baby showers, birthday bashes, and TV dinners during the Superbowl or family movie night. Guests have frequently asked where I got them, and that’s when I realized this is a category in need of innovation! While paper plates provide a convenient, no-dishwashing solution, they lack stability, style, and often aren’t compostable. On the other hand, traditional dinner plates offer a sturdy base for your meal but require washing, are prone to breaking, and can leave you stuck with the same design for years — if not decades.

That's when Plate & Pattern was born! I wanted to create a collection of plates that could suit any home style and use them with fun, interchangeable liner designs to match any occasion so you can easily refresh the look of your table just by swapping out the liner. I love choosing a theme, picking a plate and liner pattern that sets the perfect mood, and making sure the table looks great, but the real joy comes from spending quality time with family and friends. Plus, cleanup is a breeze with our plates and liners! I hope you enjoy using them as much as I do.
