This basket is woven from a grass that grows wild in wetlands, called Kok in Thailand. On this page, we introduce slim and tiny basket with refreshing open weave.
Kok is dried in the sun well after harvesting.After drying, the softened Kok is twisted by hand into a long rope.Kok made into ropes are stronger and make even tougher baskets.This weaving method is characterized by stretching, and this handbag also stretches downwards somewhat when things are put in it.Even when things are placed in it, the bottom does not deflect downwards nearly enough to change its shape. It is just right size to hold a wallet, keys, cell phone, and other smallest luggage. A long wallet can also be placed in the bag if it is placed vertically.
When storing them, it is best to keep them in a well-ventilated room where they will not accumulate 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 is soft to the touch and light to the touch. It will surely go well with any outfit, such as a dress, T-shirt, and denim style. Please enjoy it for your quick outing.
–Kok baskets in Thailand–
Kok is a plant of the Cyperaceae group that is found in wetlands and can be twisted by hand to make a strong rope.
In Thailand, it is harvested throughout the year, is easy to process, and can be used to make various types of strong baskets using only Kok. Also used for the handles of Kachū baskets because of its strength.
Most of the makers are women in their 30s to 70s, and they operate their basket weaving business as a group or as a family unit in the village or hamlet.
The baskets shown here are made in a highland area about 200 meters above sea level in northeastern Thailand.
