Our coir mats are made from a natural, renewable fiber by skilled crafts people in small villages in India. Using traditional processes coconut fibers are harvested and collected by hand. These naturally hardy fibers are woven into mats and printed with our beautiful orignial designs. The high quality inks are fade resistant and vibrant. For the longest life of your mat we recommend using in a covered area not exposed to rain or direct sun for extended periods of time. Shake or vacuum clean.
