Bag “Super Braids” / Water hyacinth / THA 3115217-1　タイ/ウォーターヒヤシンス　かごバッグ　AMI × AMI


							



This handbag is woven with water hyacinth, a water plant that grows wild in slow-flowing rivers and ponds.
Here is a type with many braid inserts in a close weaving.




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.




A braided string of water hyacinth is woven together to form a basket.




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 can hold a wallet, notebook, books, plastic bottles, and other items you might want to take with you on your daily outings.








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.




“Super braids,” a handbag with a wonderful woven pattern that is eye-catching.
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.




–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.
