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
These baskets are woven from Krajood, a type of grass that grows naturally around marshy areas in Thailand.
The stalks are cut from the roots, dried, then flattened before being woven. They are typically harvested between May and August. For larger baskets, longer stalks are required, so harvesting is sometimes delayed to allow further growth.
The makers vary by region. In some villages, experienced weavers lead small groups and teach others, while in other areas, families work across three generations. Typically, baskets are made in groups of about four or five people.
For most people, basket weaving is not a full-time occupation. It is often done in between farming work 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 appreciation 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 weave on the basket’s sides is the same as the “ajiro-ami” technique in Japan. Flattened stalks are woven alternately to create a mat-like surface, which is then shaped into a basket.After harvesting, Krajood stalks are coated in clay-rich mud and sun-dried for 3–5 days.This process helps add flexibility and moisture, preventing cracks and improving strength.In the final stage of basket making, the entire surface is coated with glue—an essential step to ensure strength and durability.After shaping the mat into a basket, the rim is folded outward and tucked inside. The rim finish is especially important as it determines the overall strength and quality of the basket.A view of the rim from inside the basket. It is tightly secured and neatly finished.A top-down view of the rim. The opening forms a crisp and elegant curve.This is where the handle meets the rim. The rope handle is threaded through the Krajood weave and secured inside the double-layered structure.A top view of the rim with the basket turned upside down. The ends of the handle are tied and secured.The handle is made from a sedge plant called “Kok” in Thai. The Kok is twisted into a rope to form the handle.A view of the bottom of the basket from underneath.A corner of the basket’s bottom.The gusset is wide, and it opens up to this extent when expanded,but normally the opening stays relatively compact like this. Now, let us introduce the sizes.This is the S size.Just the right size to carry your wallet, keys, phone, and a small book. Compact and easy to carry around.This is the M size.Great for casual outings or quick shopping trips.This is the L size.Also ideal for shopping or as a storage basket to keep things organized at home.
The glue applied to the surface of Krajood baskets helps prevent deformation and enhances durability, making them suitable for daily use. It reflects the makers’ continuous pursuit of strength and functionality.
The glue is thoroughly dried, but in rare cases, people with sensitive skin may experience redness upon contact. 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.
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.
Please note: This item ships from Japan. As the buyer, you are responsible for any import duties, customs fees, or local taxes that may be charged in your country.
