Handwoven Krajood Bags – Slow Fashion with a Soul | Yompai NZ
Sustainably crafted bags by Thai village artisans using wild-harvested sedge grass.
Why Choose a Krajood Bag?
Each Krajood bag is handwoven, a fusion of ancient Thai weaving traditions and modern slow fashion values. Made from Krajood sedge, a renewable plant that grows wild in lakes and marshes, these bags are:
Eco-friendly & biodegradable
Durable & lightweight
Ethically made in rural Thai communities
Uniquely handcrafted – no two are the same
What is Krajood?
Krajood (Lepironia articulata) is a natural sedge that grows in southern Thailand. Local weavers harvest, roll, dry, and handweave it using skills passed down through generations. The result? Strong, flexible fibres turned into functional art.
Meet the Makers
Our Krajood bags are woven by women in small village co-ops, where every purchase supports sustainable incomes, cultural preservation, and community resilience. When you buy one, you're not just choosing a bag—you're joining a story.
