This basket is woven from a grass called “Kachū” in Thai, which grows naturally around swampy areas.
It features a double-layered weave and is designed to be foldable.
We offer it in two sizes: Small and Large.

For most local artisans, basket weaving is not their primary occupation; it’s usually done during breaks from agricultural tasks, such as rice farming. As a result, the majority of weavers are from older generations.
Although younger weavers are fewer in number, there’s recently been a renewed appreciation in Thailand for these natural handcrafted products, with more young people beginning to take an interest in basketry.






















The glue applied to the surface of the Kachū basket helps maintain its shape, preventing distortion.
This step is essential to increase its durability for everyday use,
reflecting the artisans’ thoughtful consideration in crafting long-lasting baskets.
Although the glue is thoroughly dried, in very rare cases,
individuals with sensitive skin might experience slight redness upon direct contact.
If this is a concern, we recommend wearing long sleeves or otherwise avoiding direct skin contact when using the basket.

Due to the nature of Kachū,
storing this basket by hanging it with heavy items inside may gradually cause the bottom to stretch.
While there’s no problem carrying somewhat heavy items during normal use,
we recommend placing the basket on a shelf or other flat surface when not in use, rather than hanging it,
to help it retain its shape and extend its life.

With its charming rounded shape and sturdy appearance,
this Kachū basket is sure to complement any outfit—whether a dress or a casual T-shirt and jeans.
In warmer seasons, it makes an ideal companion for a casual outing.


When the seasons change,
you can easily use it as a storage basket at home—ensuring it’s something you’ll enjoy using year-round.
Its versatile, two-way design allows you to switch uses according to the season,
adding extra enjoyment to your daily life.

About Thai Kachū (Water Grass) Basketry
Thailand is characterized by a tropical climate with distinct rainy and dry seasons.
If you look at a map, you might notice that Thailand’s shape resembles the head of an elephant—the “trunk” being the Malay Peninsula. Southern Thailand, located along this “trunk,” has a somewhat different climate from the rest of the country.
Due to seasonal monsoon winds blowing alternately from the southwest (the Pacific side) and the northeast (the Indian Ocean side), this region experiences longer rainy seasons and shorter dry seasons, lasting only about two months.
“Kachū” is the local Thai name for the grass that naturally grows in the marshlands of southern Thailand’s humid, tropical environment.
Because Thailand frequently experiences heavy rainfall and floods, Kachū crops can sometimes be damaged or washed away, resulting in poor harvests.
As the demand for Kachū baskets increases both domestically and internationally, securing sufficient materials has become an ongoing challenge for local basket-makers.
The Kachū basketry we introduce here is primarily crafted in provinces along the eastern side of the Malay Peninsula facing the Gulf of Thailand, including Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Pattani, and Narathiwat.
