Our doormats are made of coconut fibre (coir) and that are bound with a natural latex for added strength. There are no nasty plastics or PVC backings and are 100% biodegradable as we want to help make the environment last as long as poss, and this means YOU'RE making the environment last longer too. YAY! We have sourced what we think are the best quality mats in town from ethical sources, that are sturdy, look fab and have minimal shedding.
