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
