Water hyacinth basket bag
Coming soon · price once the maker is chosen
A basket woven from water hyacinth stems — a plant that chokes rivers and lakes on Java. Villages harvest it, dry it and turn it into fibre — a plant that was a weed becomes an object. Thick, soft weave, rattan handles.
About 40 × 30 × 25 cm — enough for market shopping or a set of towels.
For shopping and the beach, for towels in the bathroom, for blankets in the living room. In the hallway it takes scarves and hats. The natural brown of the fibre gently warms pale interiors.
Material and care: keep in a dry place, away from damp and rain. Remove dust with a dry cloth or a soft brush; do not soak. Air it outdoors now and then, but not in full sun.
Handmade: every basket is woven by hand, so the thickness of the weave, the shade of the fibre and the dimensions may differ from the photo. This is the nature of handwork, not a defect.
Coming soon, no price yet: we are considering baskets from a workshop near Ubud for the next container. Leave your e-mail and we will write when we know the price.
This piece is not in the container plan yet. If enough people are interested, we will add it to the next trip — leave your e-mail and we will write when we know the price and date.
