This basket is woven from a grass that grows wild in wetlands, called Kok in Thailand. On this page, we introduce round Multi-purpose basket.
Kok is dried in the sun well after harvesting. Kok’s basket bags and other bags are woven using twisted rope, but this one is made of the material as it is.After drying, it is weaved together using Kok of different thicknesses to create a weaving pattern from time to time. This woven pattern changes depending on the person who makes it.A wooden frame mold is used to form the basket to be woven into it. There are individual differences in shape depending on the person who makes them.The shape of the four corners slightly lowered like a foot is also attractive.This basket has a stable finish that does not deflect when lightly pushed.It can be used to hold fruits or tools.
This basket is moderately deep and making it easy to use. It can be used as a harvest basket or serving basket for fruits and vegetables. As a container for slippers or towels.
Or can also be used for stocking foodstuffs or for storing daily utensils. It is suitable to put flowers in a vase inside the basket.
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. Please enjoy it in various scenes.
