Approximate size: 7.5cm high x 21.5cm diameter. Please note due to the hand made nature of this product, sizes will vary in height and diameter from item to item.
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.

Gave this vibrant pink sunglasses case as a birthday present, friend was delighted with her present
Quick delivery. Items in perfect condition.
I cannot fault this company at all. From ordering to delivery. Thank you!! You care and it shows!!!
I bought 2 of these smaller 350ml active bottles with sports lid to fit in the side pockets of my day backpack. I'm delighted with the quality of these stainless steel material and the flip-up drinking top. Was pleased to be sent and the little brushes to properly clean the drinking spout. The bottles kept my drinks cool all day long. I also like the little stainless steel handle at the top and the feel of the bottle shape. Very happy with these.
Just beautiful, farbetter than I expected and perfect in every way! I have had lots of lovely comments about them too.
Superb smelling lemon oil, I'm addicted to it!
Lovely colour, great quality, love this brand (Respiin)! Delighted with my whole Green Tulip order, packaged beautifully (without plastic!) and arrived quickly. Thank you!
Bought for my daughter's birthday. She loved the pink one and I knew she'd like the green one too. These scarves are very elegant and unusual.
