Pulingina Door Mat
Inspired by another creative on the opposite side of the country, Jarni McGuire, I have created custom door mats using the Tasmanian Aboriginal language word for welcome; pulingina.
This product is ally friendly. Language is important and starting conversations around language, how we can preserve it, protect and restore it supports the communities cause.
Palawa Kani is a composite language developed by the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre’s dedicated language team. This team have been working since the early 1990s on reviving and restoring the language of Tasmanian Aboriginal people throughout the state.
More information about Palawa Kani can be found on the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre’s website.

Our supplier is based in Australia and all our mats are hand made using high quality, water resistant paints and dyes.
Doormats are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, though indoor, or sheltered is recommended for a longer life. Please be aware that coir, as a natural product may be lighter in some areas, darker in others, have small patches of denser or sparse hair. All mats are high quality and hand-picked, but may have small imperfections or quirks.
Cleaning
A heavy shake every now and then will get rid of lots of debris from your mat, otherwise you can vacuum or spot-clean with a mild soap.
Do not machine wash/tumble dry or use bleach.
