Banksy - Welcome Mat (First Edition)

This mat is hand stitched using the fabric from life vests abandoned on the beaches of the Mediterranean. 

This is from the first edition of 500 numbered mats, with a stitched and numbered patch on the reverse.

To fabricate the mats Banksy has teamed up with the organisation 'Love Welcomes' who work with women in detainment camps in Greece. 

These mats are no longer being made, with a total of just 3000 or so being sold.
