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.






After harvesting, water hyacinth is dried in the sun to dry well and fumigated.


Fumigation removes moisture from the material, stabilizes it as a material, and prevents insects.




There are only 2 or 3 people who can do this woven pattern who are elderly. It looks like a flower and is really beautiful.










The rope for the handles is threaded through the weave of the basket. Please do not lift or pull only one of the handles, as this may damage the handle.


The handle is also made of water hyacinth. They are made by woven strips. Please make sure to always balance both handles when holding the bag.






It is made to carry enough luggage for a wallet, a key, a cell phone, a drink, etc. when going out.




This is size M.


It is large enough to neatly hold a wallet, keys, cell phone, water bottle, pouch, etc.


It can also be put on the shoulder.




This is size L.


In addition to valuables, there is space for a stole and items bought on the go.






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.

This water hyacinth handbag has a slim shape and attractive weaving.
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.
