THE FRONT DOOR
After combing the archives of one of the world’s most esteemed museums, Entryways has translated works of art into contemporary doormats that will add panache to any home. The intricate Strawberry Thief, with its mischievous birds— juicy berries dangling from their beaks— is inspired by one of the most iconic works of the 19th century by the great champion of the Arts and Crafts Movement, William Morris (1834-96), who based his design on the thrushes he saw stealing strawberries from the grounds of Kelmscott Manor, his Oxfordshire home. This as well as other new designs come straight from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London to your front door.
The collection includes both classic and comical designs like the series of doormats inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland which is based on the original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel (1820–1914) for Lewis Carroll’s book, and held in the V&A’s archives.
The Knot-ical doormat offers a blend of elegance and functionality to your front door. Crafted with great care from handspun coir rope and intricately braided to create a design that is not only beautiful but also highly practical. This mat is made entirely from natural and biodegradable coir, a material derived from coconut fibers, showcasing a commitment to eco-friendly practices. The classic weave is a result of skilled craftsmanship, reflecting the quality and durability that has made it a best-selling classic.
Available in two sizes to suit different spaces – Regular, measuring 18 inches by 30 inches, and Large, at 24 inches by 36 inches, and boasting a thickness of 1 inch, this doormat is not just a functional item for your home but also a statement of style and sustainability.

Nonaste
For the athlete (or parent of active kids), The Stink Master Bundle – From dirty laundry to dirty gear – While traditional laundry detergent wasn’t designed to clean bacteria from tight-knit and other sports fabrics (ever wonder why athletic gear and other items can stink, even after you wash them), Nonaste’s proprietary enzymes and the right surfactants, can get in deep to lift and remove bacteria, odors and grime to restore fabric integrity, revitalizing and prolonging the life of your athletic gear. Its Odor Eliminating Spray destroys bacteria in shoes, and camping gear, and can remove the wet-dog smell from your car. Contains: 2 x 32 oz Zen Fresh Laundry Detergent, 3-pack Zen Fresh Travel Laundry, 16 oz Odor Eliminating Spray
The little-known fact that was the inspiration for Andy Voggenthaler, as an endurance athlete, to found Nonaste’s (pronounced No Nasty) complete line of scientifically advanced products to keep active people clean and odor-free: Traditional detergents may work OK on natural fabrics, but can’t remove bacteria trapped in tight-knit, moisture-wicking activewear and sports uniforms, causing odors and funky smells to build up, even after washing them. Nonaste’s high-performance, scientifically formulated laundry detergents and sprays use a proprietary formula of enzymes and environmentally safe surfactants to eradicate nasty grime, bacteria, and residue that builds up in water-wicking activewear to restore fabric integrity, revitalizing and prolonging the life of athletic gear.
