How is Seagrass Used?

Seagrass has been woven by people for thousands of years.

Our baskets use both woven seagrass that is twisted together, and also
coiled seagrass that is sewn into place to create light and strong
tablemats and bowls.

The seagrass we use for our home accessories is farmed sustainably in Bangladesh.

Why is Seagrass a Sustainable Material?

  • Low Environmental Impact

    Seagrass is 100% natural, always undyed, and is fully biodegradable.

  • Absorbs Carbon Dioxide

    Seagrass captures carbon up to 35 times faster than tropical rainforests.

  • Fast Growing

    Seagrass grows very quickly, so quickly replenishes after it is harvested.

  • Saris

    Old saris are sold by households to pedlars, who sell the saris onto companies who usually recycle them. Instead we reuse the saris, weaving them together with sustainable seagrass to make a beautiful, one of a kind basket. Learn more

  • Recycled Wool

    Used wool fabrics are collected in recycling banks around the world. In India they are sorted into colour, broken down into fibres, spun into yarn and then woven into fabric. Learn more
