You will no longer lack storage space at home when this spacious basket moves in. Thanks to the matching lid, you can keep laundry, blankets, toys or anything else that would otherwise make a mess out of sight.
The basket is not only practical, but also impresses with its very special design: Banana fibers are kept together with a net shaped pattern of white cotton cords, creating a beautiful light-dark contrast. The elegant funnel-shaped lid offers even more space compared to baskets with a flat lid. The basis for the basket is a stable metal frame, so that it always retains its shape.

Our products are artfully crafted individual pieces. They may vary slightly in size, color and shape due to the production by hand and natural variations in materials.

Main material: Banana Fibre
Our baskets are made from plant fibers. They therefore wonderfully smell and feel like nature.
Banana fibres are the fibres of the layered trunks of agriculturally used banana trees. The intense brown color occurs naturally when the fibres are dried under the sun for about a week. Then the individual strips are rolled into the characteristic, approximately 6 mm thick strands. Only old, dying banana trees are used for this material. This enables these crops to have a second life as a dimensionally stable and robust raw material for many handcrafted baskets here at Soeji.
Other materials: Cotton, Metal frame

The name “Soeji” (pronounced soo-ji) comes from Javanese and means something like “pure” or “unadulterated” - exactly what our products are all about. When we came across several small wickerwork workshops during a stay in one of the founder's home country Indonesia in the summer of 2019, we quickly recognized the potential of these great products. We got into conversation with the owners and it became clear that they were interested in realizing our designs. Since then we have designed and produced many great products based on traditional patterns, put together a small but beautiful range of products and finally made them available to a larger audience in our online shop in June 2020. We only use natural, environmentally friendly materials (which otherwise would often have ended up in the trash since they are considered waste products or weeds) and the work of experienced Indonesian artisans for our home and fashion accessories. Every sale of our hand crafted products thus sustainably supports rural communities to make a living. Especially elderly people, who can no longer work in agriculture, benefit greatly from the jobs that these workshops create. Thanks to our close cooperation with the local small producers without intermediaries and long communication channels, we can guarantee very good working conditions and wages and precisely track the origin of the raw materials. A pleasant side effect for you are fair prices, regarding which you can be sure that a lot of it will get through to the producers and little to international corporations.
