Why we love it
Seagrass grows very quickly in shallow saltwater along coastlines and rivers. Once mature, the grass is cut by hand and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven. Dried seagrass is durable and moisture resistant.
Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed.
Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility.
ReSpiin tablemats and coasters are hand woven in Bangladesh through a supplier working towards WFTO membership. The supplier is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic, and they pay a living wage to all employees. Together they have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute baskets which means they can produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks.
Not only are seagrass and jute totally natural and sustainable, both are also renewable and biodegradable materials.
The sewing thread used is made of 70% polyester and 30% cotton. It cannot be 100% cotton thread as this will not tolerate the sewing machine tension needed to be able to stitch the seagrass and jute into place.
Each coaster features a little fabric ReSpiin label stitched onto the rim and comes with a recyclable swing tag. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
Made from natural seagrass and coloured jute. The coloured jute is Azo free.

Bought as part of a gift for a friend, but have bought other respiin products before - lovely items, good quality and good range of colours/designs.
Beautiful coasters! Love them! Have recommended to so many of my friends.
Love these. They look amazing with the matching tablet mats. I bought all different colours and my table looks amazing.
Been looking for something light weight , which they are. Love the colours. I bought some for myself and liked them so much I bought some for a pressie
Bought as a present
I couldn't be more pleased with every aspect of my Green Tulip experience. The reusable food storage containers are not only highly functional but gorgeous as well, and the swift, plastic-free packaging was awesome.
Green Tulip are so accommodating. I ordered their Kochi stainless steel food containers which are an ideal size for me as a single person and perfect for freezing. Green Tulip were happy to order in more for me and to let me know when they'd received them. I shall definitely be looking at what else I can order from them. Their delivery times are quick as well, an excellent company.
Hi! I bought these gloves and they died on the 3d day. It’s funny cause the only thing I was doing in them — loading and unloading a dishwasher with the same type of plates. Nothing else. Also my hands smell latex after. Wanted to be green but spent money on nothing:( the service was good though.
Excellent love them x will use again xx
Speedy delivery. Lovely looking food pockets. Ideal for cutting down on foil and cling film use.
Would definitely recommend this company!
