Oval Stand Bag / Krajood Grass / THA 3115103 タイ/カチュー(水草) スタンドバッグ オーバル S・M・L 3サイズ ルイ版


							

This basket is woven from a grass called “Krajood” in Thai, which grows naturally around marshy areas.

The stalks are cut from the roots, dried, and flattened before being woven. Harvesting typically takes place from spring (around May) to summer (around August).
For larger baskets, longer stalks are needed, so the harvest may be delayed to allow them to grow further before cutting.

The makers vary by region. In some villages, experienced weavers take the lead and guide others, forming small production groups. In other cases, entire families across three generations weave together.
Typically, baskets are made in groups of about four to five people per village.

For most people, basket weaving is not a full-time occupation. It is often done in between farming tasks such as rice cultivation, and most of the weavers belong to the older generation.

Although there are still few young weavers, natural-material products like these are once again gaining recognition in Thailand, and more young people are beginning to take an interest in them.

This page introduces Krajood basket bags available in three sizes: S, M, and L.

The glue applied to the surface of Krajood baskets helps prevent deformation and increases their strength for everyday use.
It is also a reflection of the makers’ ingenuity and their constant pursuit of creating durable baskets.

The glue is thoroughly dried, but in rare cases,
people with sensitive skin may experience redness or irritation when handling the basket.
If concerned, consider placing a cloth inside the basket or avoiding direct contact with the skin when using it.

Due to the nature of Krajood, if this basket is stored hanging with heavy items inside,
the bottom may gradually stretch over time.

For regular use, placing moderately heavy items inside is fine, but when not in use,
it’s better to rest the basket on a shelf rather than hanging it.
This will help preserve its shape and allow you to enjoy it for a longer time.

This Krajood handbag has a charming, rounded shape and a stable presence.
It pairs well with a variety of outfits—from dresses to T-shirts and denim.
It would be fun to coordinate it with a scarf or hat,
and it also makes a lovely storage basket when placed in a room.

Please choose the size that best suits your preference.

<About Krajood Weaving in Thailand>

Thailand has a tropical climate with a rainy and dry season.
The country’s shape is often compared to an elephant’s head, with the “trunk” being the Malay Peninsula.
Southern Thailand, located here, experiences slightly different weather.
Due to monsoon winds from the southwest (Pacific) and northeast (Indian Ocean),
this region has a longer rainy season and a shorter dry season—only about two months.

Krajood is the name of a grass that grows in the hot and humid marshlands of this southern region of Thailand.
The locals call it “Krajood” in Thai.

Thailand experiences frequent flooding due to its heavy rainfall,
and in some years, Krajood plants are swept away or damaged, leading to poor harvests.
As demand for Krajood baskets rises both within Thailand and internationally,
securing raw materials has become a growing challenge for artisans.

The Krajood weaving introduced here is mainly produced in provinces on the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula,
facing the Gulf of Thailand—such as Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat,
Pattani, and Narathiwat.
