Material: Water hyacinth
Our baskets are made from plant fibers. They therefore smell and feel wonderfully natural.
The water hyacinth is a tropical aquatic plant that grows on rivers and lakes. It originally comes from South America but was also introduced to Southeast Asia. There, it is considered a weed because it reproduces incredibly quickly and can cover entire bodies of water with a carpet of leaves. The resulting lack of light and oxygen causes all underwater life to die off. Therefore, the plants must be regularly removed. To prepare the plants for further processing, the leaves are cut off, and the thick stems are dried in the sun for three to seven days. The result is a sustainable raw material that is abundantly available for many weaving projects here at Soeji!
