All About Mats

Whether you’ve been with us for years and years or consider yourself new around here — let’s reintroduce you to Gathre’s bread and butter: our leather mats.

From the start, our mission was simple: to make space for the worthwhile. Our founders, Jess and Mare, were best friends and new moms hoping to bridge the gap between living with intention and the (inevitable) busyness of everyday life. They realized that to do that, they’d first need to clear out a little space.

That’s the vision behind and purpose of our original Gathre mat. Yes, it provides a literal space to gather with kids — but it also helps create a moment. A chance to slow and stop and be together. Proving beautiful things can be functional too… Jess and Mare knew they had stumbled upon something special.

A SIZE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE

 

We’ve got one for every reason to gather: Micro, Micro+, Mini, Mini+, Midi, Midi+, and Maxi. Because our mats are all-purpose, it can be tough to specify exactly what each size is used for. Here’s a helpful guide, so you can get to know each one.

 

Psst, if there’s a plus sign next to it, that means its width has been extended, so it’s more rectangular in shape instead of square.

FOR THE LOVE OF LEATHER

Our regular mats are made of vegan leather on top and flocked suede on the bottom, combining the feel of genuine leather and the convenience of faux. And let’s just say…there’s a reason our leather has become the talk of the town.

Look: Gathre mats are simply designed with a clean debossed logo and simple finishing stitch. Flocked suede lends a neutral backing that's built for wear. Plus, with five Naturals, ten seasonal colors, and quarterly capsule collections, we've got something for every style.

Feel: Gathre mats were made to bring people together, which meant they had to feel as inviting as home. Our faux leather is buttery soft, giving your mat an almost magnetic ability to draw people in.

Function: Gathre mats clean off with a wipe. Or the hose, or the ocean, or really whatever you've got — because no one needs more laundry. Shake off sand, hose off mud, brush off water — voila. Made to be used anywhere you want to add beauty and lessen mess.

Plus, you can get a feel for our leather — and all its hues — by checking out our Swatch Studio. Trust us, it’s a great option for those struggling to pick a color or decide on solids vs prints! Easily compare and contrast your top contenders IRL before committing.
