This basket is woven from a type of grass called “Krajood” in Thai, which grows naturally around marshy areas. It features a sturdy double-layered weave that gives it a dependable structure. When the clasp is removed, this basket bag can also be used as a cylindrical storage basket—designed as a versatile 2-way item.
The stalks are cut from the root, dried, and flattened before weaving.
Harvesting takes place from spring (around May) to summer (around August). For larger baskets, longer stalks are needed, so the harvest may be slightly delayed to allow for additional growth before cutting.
The makers vary by region. Some work in groups led by skilled weavers who guide others, while in other places, families spanning three generations work 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 work such as rice cultivation, and most weavers belong to the older generation.
Although there are still few young weavers, the value of natural-material products like these is being rediscovered in Thailand, and more young people are beginning to pick up baskets again.
This page introduces four sizes (S, M, L, XL) of double-woven Krajood basket bags. All four sizes share the same construction.
The weave on the basket’s sides uses the same technique known in Japan as “Ajiro-ami.” Flattened stalks are woven alternately to create a mat-sized sheet, which is then shaped into a basket.It is tightly woven with almost no gaps.After being harvested from the waterside, Krajood stalks are coated in clay-rich mud and sun-dried for 3–5 days. This adds flexibility and moisture to the material, preventing cracks and increasing strength.As the final step in the basket-making process, glue is applied over the entire surface. This is also essential for crafting durable Krajood baskets.This is the rim area. The basket is double-woven and secured at the bottom, so the rim is simply folded without additional reinforcement.As a result, the interior remains smooth and refined.Viewed from above, the simplicity of the rim and the folded-over structure reveal the double-layered weave.This is where the handle meets the rim. The rope handle is threaded through the Krajood weave and secured inside the double-layered structure.The handle is made from a sedge plant called “Kok” in Thai. The Kok is twisted into a rope and used as the handle.The base is round in shape.Seen from the underside, another woven layer is visible on the base. This also forms a double structure, giving a solid and reassuring finish. The side weave is secured by sandwiching this bottom section.A clasp is attached to the top of the basket.The clasp is simply tied at the back.This is the cord used for the clasp, also made from Kok rope.The cord is also simply tied on the inside, just like the clasp.Let us now introduce the four sizes, one by one.This is the smallest size: S.With the clasp undone, it transforms into a cylindrical basket—perfect for storage use as well.Size SSize SThis is size M.With the clasp undone. This size can hold about four to five 500ml bottles.Size MSize MThis is size L.It has a solid height—ideal for storing bottles of liquid condiments.Size LSize LThis is size XL.This size is large enough to be used as a personal laundry basket. Please avoid leaving damp laundry inside for too long, as it may cause mold.Size XLSize XL
The glue applied to the surface of Krajood baskets helps prevent deformation and is an essential finishing process to increase their strength for everyday use. It also reflects the wisdom of the makers, who are always thinking about how to craft more durable baskets.
The glue is thoroughly dried, but in rare cases, people with sensitive skin may experience redness or other reactions upon contact. If you are concerned, it may help to place a cloth inside the basket or take care to avoid direct contact with your skin during use.
Due to the characteristics of Krajood, storing this bag by hanging it with heavy items inside may cause the bottom to gradually stretch over time.
Since this basket is double-woven, it can hold moderately heavy items for everyday use, but when not in use, it’s better to rest it on a shelf rather than hanging it. This will help the basket maintain its shape and allow you to enjoy it for longer.
To preserve the durability of the basket, depending on the size, we recommend limiting the weight to about 3–4kg for the XL size. For shopping, it can easily hold many lighter items like vegetables or bread, but when carrying heavy liquids like bottles of soy sauce or sake, please support the bottom and take extra care while carrying.
The softly rounded shape and stable silhouette give this Krajood storage bag a charming presence.
Great for shopping or as a home basket for daily tasks. Among our Krajood items, this double-woven series is especially sturdy, making it a reliable companion for everyday use.
Choose from four sizes to suit your preferences.
<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.
