Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this doormat designed for?
This doormat is designed for Haitian families, members of the Haitian diaspora, and anyone who holds a deep love for Haiti and its culture. Whether you were born in Haiti, grew up in a Haitian household, or simply want to honour the resilience and beauty of the Haitian people, this mat announces it proudly at your front door.

What does "Ayiti Cheri" mean?
"Ayiti Cheri" means "Dear Haiti" or "Beloved Haiti" in Haitian Creole. The phrase comes from the opening words of Haiti's national anthem and carries a profound sense of love, pride, and longing for the homeland. It is one of the most emotionally resonant phrases in Haitian culture.

What is coir and why is it a good doormat material?
Coir is a natural fiber derived from coconut husks — it is durable, biodegradable, and excellent at trapping dirt and moisture. Coir doormats are a classic choice for front doors and covered entryways, offering both function and a natural, textured aesthetic that complements any home style.

Can this mat be used outdoors?
Yes — this coir doormat is suitable for covered outdoor areas such as porches, covered entryways, and sheltered front steps. Natural coir performs best when protected from direct rain and prolonged moisture. For fully exposed outdoor spaces, a heavy-duty all-weather polyester mat would be a better choice.

What sizes are available?
This doormat is available in three sizes: 16x24" (41x61cm), 18x30" (46x76cm), and 24x36" (61x91cm) — suitable for a variety of entryways from apartments to large front porches. Browse our full Cultural & Heritage Collection to compare options.
