Banksy Welcome Mat, by Rouen Cathedral on Feb 8, 2020 23:54:34 GMT 1, Well since everyone is asking for it... here I come to just try to please all.
I actually like the chunky new photo ones better. As someone said they have a more handcrafted feel in them. I always thought the original looked to โmanufactureredโ.

Wish they could also sign the mat next to the Banksy one ! Would make them so much more interesting and impactful imo.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Inknart on Feb 9, 2020 0:35:12 GMT 1, If I'm being honest, I really do like the original look more, but with that said these add so much more meaning than just being a production piece, with each mat telling a different refugees story from hands of women who have been through so much and who's stories have brought them to this point in there lives. As someone else said, it would be great if each mat came with a picture and story of the refugee that hand stitched these. Can't wait to see which one I end up getting.

Nice. The available mats and other items are good quality, pretty cool and share the same story. Available from ยฃ18-ยฃ40. Gives you that feeling that you have done some good for people.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Rouen Cathedral on Feb 9, 2020 13:25:45 GMT 1, Am I alone in thinking they donโt look as well constructed as the one on display at the GDP? The stitching on the lettering doesnโt look as tightly woven but perhaps they are not yet completed. Personally I like them a little looser like this. There is something that looks a bit warmer about them than the one on display at GDP but you may be right, they may not yet be completed.
Oh no we agreed on something pertaining to Banksys work.
What does this mean?!?!?

Banksy Welcome Mat, by pfffffffffft on Feb 14, 2020 16:11:17 GMT 1, If you are following up on your pre-order of a Banksy x Love Welcomes welcome mat then we expect to be sharing an approximate delivery date with you in the next 2 weeks. @monsieur2t
We've been getting the same auto response from LW for over a month now. That doesn't include another post from early January saying that a ship date would be coming within a few weeks.
I think patience is key here. It may take the full 5 months. The logistics of dealing with these in a camp must be difficult then figuring out the labels and shipping.
Hopefully we'll be hearing something soon.

Oh sorry i wasnโt aware as I just got the email this morning. Thanks for the clarifications :-)
Cheers.
Ps: I am not in a hurry at all. And just happy that it will lie on my door step soon. Yes it may sound stupid to some of you but I intend to use it as a real doormat and reminds every guests of how lucky we all are... instead of ยซย framingย ยป it.

These are refugees with most likely 0 experience, whereas the one from GDP was probably done by someone who has been sewing their entire life.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by Daylight Robber on Feb 14, 2020 17:30:57 GMT 1, Latest email
Dear friends,
Thank you so much for your patience with your pre-order of a Banksy x Love Welcomes Welcome Mat.
We are delighted to let you know that your Banksy x Love Welcomes Welcome Mat has left the refugee camp in Greece and is on its way to our shipping warehouse. We expect your mat to leave our warehouse by Monday 24th and we will send you shipping details as soon as it is released and this will include your tracking number. The arrival date of your mat will then depend on your location.
In advance of your mat arriving Banksy has shared an important message for all recipients saying โYour mat is a hand made piece of art and should ideally be used for display purposes only. We would advise against walking on it extensively or rubbing dirty boots on it repeatedly. Avoid vacuuming and clean gently using a canister of pressured air.โ
Each mat has been uniquely hand-made by the women we work with in the refugee camps in Greece. It is individually numbered and specifically labelled as a purchase from Banksyโs Gross Domestic Product store.
We hope you are pleased with your purchase and we do encourage you to promote the mat and Love Welcomes on social media tagging us at Love Welcomes. The more products that we sell, the more refugees we can employ and urgent services we can supply, means the more lives we can change.
One woman we work with called Laure explained to us the difference the work is making in her life after her treacherous journey to Greece. She said:
โI felt like committing suicide โ these were the thoughts going through my mindโฆBut when I knew about Love Welcomes, and I started weaving, all of these thoughts suddenly melted.โ
Thank you for being a part of this journey.
Abi, co-Founder, Love Welcomes
