This large tablemat has been handmade from natural and coloured jute, woven together and stitched into a stylish spiral design. The way these tablemats are woven means the back of each one is a plain natural colour. Sold singly so you only buy as many as you need! Matching coasters also available. Approximately 32cm diameter, however, due to its handmade nature, sizes may vary slightly from mat to mat.
Why we love it
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. Jute is 100% biodegradable.
The producer in Bangladesh is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic. They pay a living wage to all employees. They have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute and seagrass baskets and bowls. This enables them to produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks.
Not only is jute totally natural and sustainable, it is also a renewable and biodegradable material.
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.
The sewing thread used in this product 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 jute into place.
Made from both natural jute and coloured jute. The coloured jute is Azo free.

I like these pads because they have survived the washing machine and they are soft but with just enough “grip” to clean well.
