Is coir always the same colour?
No, natural coir can vary in colour. These variations are part of the unique charm and authenticity of coir as a natural material.
Coir fibres are extracted from coconut husks, and factors such as the maturity of the coconuts, climate conditions during harvesting, and the weaving technique can all influence the final colour. This means you might notice slight colour differences between mats or production batches.
Like many natural fibres, coir is also affected by sunlight over time. Continuous exposure can cause the colour to gradually fade, similar to how other fabrics age in sunlight.
Embracing these natural variations and changes is part of what makes coir mats so special!
