Main material: Water hyacinth

Our baskets are made from plant fibers. They therefore smell and feel wonderfully natural.

The water hyacinth is a tropical aquatic plant that grows along rivers and lakes. Originally from South America, it has also been introduced to Southeast Asia. There, it is considered a weed because it multiplies incredibly quickly and can cover entire bodies of water with a carpet of leaves. The resulting lack of light and oxygen leads to the death of all aquatic life, which is why the plants must be removed regularly. To prepare the plants for further processing, the leaves are cut off and the thick stems are dried in the sun for three to seven days. The result is a sustainable raw material that is abundantly available here at Soeji for many woven goods!

Other material: Metal frame
