Dorn a’n Mor - A Hand from the Sea

"Dorn a’n Mor" (pronounced dorn ah-n mor) is a Cornish phrase meaning "Hand from the Sea." It reflects my mission to give a new life to rope reclaimed from the Newquay fishing fleet.

Each piece in our Tide-Worn Collection carries the soul of the Cornish coast. I work directly with Newquay fishermen to reclaim hardy, marine-grade rope that has spent a lifetime on the water. These limited drops are a tribute to our fishing heritage, transforming salt-worn, tide-weathered rope into unique, handwoven homeware.

Own a functional piece of Cornish maritime history. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, and when a drop is gone, it’s gone for good.

Repurposed Fishing Rope Doormat | Handwoven in Newquay from Reclaimed Rope

A Piece of the Cornish Coast, Woven for Your Doorstep

This isn't just a doormat; it's a story of life on the Atlantic. Each mat begins as rugged fishing rope, sourced directly from the boats of Newquay harbour. Having hauled nets and lobster pots along the North Cornish coast, this polypropylene rope has been naturally weathered by salt and sea, giving it a unique, tide-worn character.

We collect, clean, and handweave this resilient material into a hardwearing, coastal doormat designed to stand the test of time and the elements. Own a functional piece of Cornish maritime history.
