Let’s face it, designers haven’t put a great deal of thought into bath mats — until now. Melbourne brand Sage x Clare’s Aneta handcrafted bath runner has less splash, more dash. The mat (well, runner) is extra long so it spans the length of a roomy shower, or a bath, or a double vanity. How mindful is that? Plus it’s a statement piece. A hand-tufted bamboo design in gold set on a burgundy background with a tasseled fringe is hard to overlook. Made from certified organic cotton, the runner feels plush and luxurious underfoot, but it’s super absorbent to tick the box for practicality, too. An effortless way to elevate an aesthetic and turn an everyday event into a ritual.
