Material: Water hyacinth
Our baskets are made from plant fibres, so they smell and feel wonderfully of nature.
The water hyacinth is a tropical aquatic plant that grows in rivers and lakes. It actually comes from South America, but was also introduced in 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 life under water to die. Therefore, the plants must be removed regularly. In order 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 available in abundance for many wickerworks here at Soeji!
