By now you may be wondering about the water hyacinth and how it gets turned into a stylish accessory and beach bag. Let’s look.
What is Water Hyacinth?
Generally considered a weed, the water hyacinth grows abundantly in waterways in places like Vietnam and Cambodia. Our bags are made in Thailand, where skilled artisans use this natural material to create a fashionable accessory just for you.
When you receive your water hyacinth bag, you’ll feel great about its sustainable materials, and you’ll appreciate its chic look.
Our artisans embrace sustainability as they create these unique bags. They are dedicated to minimal environmental impact and want to bring you fashion accessories that make you feel confident carrying.
Water hyacinth has gorgeous purple flowers, and the plant contains fiber, making it perfect for creating our beach bags.
By harvesting water hyacinths, we are making a positive impact on the environment. This is because the water hyacinth is one of the fastest-growing aquatic plants. However, it is a weed known for choking the surface of rivers, lakes, streams, and ponds. So, it’s important to harvest it to keep it under control. If people don’t harvest it, it can hurt the aquatic life underneath.
In addition, it can prevent boats from making passage on waterways. This is where harvesting comes in as people cut it, harvest it, and repurpose it into a variety of things, including our bags.
Using a “weed” to create beautiful bags is truly a sustainable practice worth promoting.
Sustainable Fashion is Key
With a spacious interior, our Water Hyacinth Beach Bags have room for everything you need on your day at the beach. From your phone to sunscreen, a hat, towel, and extra clothes, you can fit it into your new bag.
How does the water hyacinth turn into a luxury item for beach goers? First, the over two foot stems are picked, cleaned, and dried in the sun for more than a week. After this, artisans flatten the stems and weave the beach bag.
Each bag is a labor of love, made with a nod to the environment. Eco-friendly elegance is born from a weed that needs controlling.
Final Thoughts on Natural Beach Bags
You can expect luxury craftsmanship in your new Hyacinth Beach Bag. Made from ethically sourced water hyacinth, rest assured your bag is helping the environment and looking great on your arm!
As an added bonus, the water hyacinth is soft and comfortable to carry.
Finally, because water hyacinth has a high rate of regeneration, survival, and growth, it’s imperative that humans continue to clear it from waterways. This is a benefit for you as the same features that make it grow well make it a solid material for beautiful bags.
So, it’s the perfect environmental cycle…from growth to harvest to a new, luxurious, eco-friendly Hyacinth Beach Bag, everyone benefits, and the cycle begins again.
