Bamboostan Leaf Jute Weave Mat by Recho

Meet the newest piece in our Recho collection

The Leaf Jute Weave Mat by Recho has just arrived at Bamboostan, and it is a little different from the round and square mats you may already know. It is hand-braided from natural jute into the shape of a leaf, then finished with a hand-stitched green pompom trim around the edge. At 16 × 13 inches, it is sized as a decorative accent rather than a dining placemat, a small piece that gives a plant, a candle or a quiet corner something to sit on.

Made by hand, braid by braid

Each mat starts as natural jute, braided by artisans and shaped into a leaf silhouette. The result is a textured weave that looks and feels handmade, not printed or pressed. Once the base is braided, the pompoms are stitched on one by one around the rim, which gives the edge its soft, playful finish. The Leaf mat comes in a single colourway, Sage, where the green trim picks up the leafy shape of the mat itself.

About Recho

Recho makes handcrafted jute décor built around natural materials and traditional craftsmanship. Their pieces are designed for people who like a home that feels warm and lived-in, with texture you can see up close. The Leaf mat sits alongside the other Recho weaves in our range, so you can mix shapes and colours across a shelf or console.

Where it finds its place

The leaf shape pairs naturally with greenery. Set a small potted plant on top of it, or let it sit beside a larger planter on the floor. By a reading chair, it makes a soft base for a candle or a short stack of books. On an entryway console, it is a small accent that guests notice as they walk in. And the leaf shape with its green trim suits a nature or forest-themed kids' room. It is meant to be looked at rather than stepped on, so keep it on a shelf, a table or a calm spot on the floor away from heavy foot traffic.

A thoughtful housewarming gift

If you are looking for something small and personal to bring to a new home, the Leaf mat works well. It is light, easy to wrap and fits most styles, from boho and natural décor to simple minimal rooms. Pair it with a small plant and you have a ready-made gift for anyone who loves bringing a little green indoors.

Caring for your jute mat

Jute is a natural fibre, so a little gentle care keeps it looking good. Wipe it with a damp cloth when it needs cleaning. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the washing machine, and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight. The pompoms are hand-stitched to the trim, so avoid pulling on them.
