Bag “Tapered” M, L / Water hyacinth / THA 3115202 タイ/ウォーターヒヤシンス かごバッグ 透かし編み テーパード型 M・L 2サイズ


							

These handbags are woven with water hyacinth, a water plant that grows wild in slow-flowing rivers and ponds.
We introduce two sizes of “tapered” type bags with openweave in the center of the basket
and a gently tapered shape from the mouth to the bottom.

A lightly and coolly handbag with a open weave pattern.
Because of the fine woven pattern, what you put inside is not so visible to others.

This fine weaving shows the very careful workmanship.

Because water hyacinth is particularly sensitive to humidity, the entire basket is coated with a matte varnish as a finishing touch.
The varnish coats the surface and prevents the material from absorbing moisture.

We recommend placing it on a high shelf or hanging it rather than leaving it on the floor,
and if you have a two-story house, placing it on the second floor rather than the first floor.

It will surely go well with any outfit, such as a dress, T-shirt, and denim style.
It will be fun to combine it with a stole or a hat.

Please choose either size you prefer.

–Water hyacinth baskets in Thailand–

Most of the makers are women in their 40s to 70s, and most of the basket weaving is done by groups or families in the village or hamlet.
Water hyacinth products are made by different makers (in different regions) depending on what they make and how they are woven.

Many people make basket weaving as their full-time occupation,
but there are also those who do both farming and basket weaving.
Such dual-income craftspeople may stop making baskets during the harvest season and concentrate on farming.

Although there are not many young woven craftsmen,
the quality of these natural material products is now being reevaluated in Thailand,
and young people are becoming more interested in baskets.
