A Vietnamese water hyacinth basket, hand-woven from water hyacinth cleared from the Mekong Delta's rivers and canals and dried by the river before it's shaped by hand. Available in S / M / L / XL.
Water hyacinth is cleared from rivers and canals in Vietnam's Mekong Delta, dried in the sun beside the river, then woven by hand into baskets like this one — using techniques passed between generations in the workshops that specialize in it. Read the full story of how it's made →
We don't design a product first and look for someone to make it — we find people who already know a material well, and build the collection around what they already do best. Water hyacinth turns a plant that would otherwise be cleared and discarded into something durable and useful, which fits the way we think about materials in general.
Use it for everyday storage — folded blankets and throws, laundry, toys, or as a catch-all basket by the entryway. Each basket is shaped and finished entirely by hand, so no two are ever perfectly identical.
Water hyacinth is a fast-growing plant cleared from rivers and canals in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. Once dried, its fiber is woven by hand into baskets and other homeware.
It's available in four sizes: S (20 × 17 cm), M (25 × 20 cm), L (30 × 23 cm), and XL (35 × 27 cm), measured as diameter × height.
No — each basket is shaped and finished by hand, so slight variation between pieces is normal.
It's handmade in Vietnam, in workshops that specialize in water hyacinth weaving.
