Material: Water hyacinth
Our baskets are made from plant fibers. They therefore wonderfully smell and feel like nature.
The water hyacinth is a tropical aquatic plant that grows on rivers and lakes. It actually comes from South America, but was also introduced in 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 causes all life underwater to die, which is why the plants have to be removed regularly. In order 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 an abundant, sustainable raw material for many wickerwork here at Soeji!

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. You can find more information about us, our principles and the production processes on our website www.soeji.de.
