Seagrass grows very quickly in shallow saltwater along coastlines and rivers. Once mature, the grass is cut by hand and dried in the sun, then hand twisted and woven. Dried seagrass is durable and moisture resistant.
Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. The plants are ready to harvest in four to six months, after the flowers are shed.
Jute plants help to clean the air. During growth they take in three times more CO2 than the average tree, converting this CO2 into oxygen. Jute plants also enrich the soil. As these plants grow fast, they are often used in crop rotation. The leaves and roots left after harvest enrich the soil with micronutrients, maintaining soil fertility. Jute is 100% biodegradable.
The producer of the baskets in Bangladesh is committed to providing regular employment in a working environment that is safe and hygienic. They pay a living wage to all employees. They have developed an innovative way of producing jute rope and stylish jute baskets which means that can produce a much higher return from the jute than when it is sold for basic jute sacks. ReSpiin has visited the producer of the baskets and has seen first hand how they take pride in what they produce and in how they treat their workers.
The sewing thread used in this product is made of 70% polyester and 30%
cotton.
It cannot be 100% cotton thread as this will not tolerate the sewing machine
tension needed to be able to stitch the seagrass and jute into place.

Gorgeous Basket the second one I ordered, this one was to keep my gorgeous special soaps my husband ordered for me
I bought the winter solstice hot chocolate, which was absolutely delicious. Ordering process was quick and simple, and the product was delivered 3 days from order, wrapped in nice packaging.
Will definitely be shopping here again as the product was so tasty.
I ordered a Kantha scarf and some chocolates, all absolutely beautiful and efficient delivery.
I purchased these laundry sheets as I do not now use washing powder. I also have a septic tank, which I am very conscientious about. I have looked at other sheets which require transport, but as these claim to be made in the UK I am all for cutting down the carbon footprint.
Good range of handmade soaps available at good prices, order +ame quickly and well packaged. Thank you
