Origin
This water hyacinth basket is made by women in and around Yogyakarta, Indonesia. They weave the dried stems of the water hyacinth by hand in a traditional way. The producer gives women the opportunity to work both at home and in the workshop. This way they have enough time for their family. This product is the result of their work and collaboration with designer Toya Verberne.
By braiding the dried stems, an old craft is kept alive. In addition, this work provides a steady income for many women, allowing them to independently support their livelihood. In collaboration with Plan International Netherlands, part of the profits are spent on vocational training for mostly young women in developing countries.
