Storage Basket – Water Hyacinth, Seagrass
Product description
CANGGU is a handwoven storage basket made from sturdy water hyacinth with a seagrass band around the opening. Designed with two braided handles, it works as a practical laundry basket, a natural plant basket for indoor pots, or everyday storage for blankets, toys, magazines, and firewood. The round shape and warm, natural tones suit calm Scandinavian interiors while keeping clutter contained.
The weave is tight and structured, giving the basket a stable, upright form even when used for heavier items. Water hyacinth fibres create a tactile surface with subtle variation in colour and thickness—details that come from the natural material and handcraft rather than surface treatments. The contrast at the rim adds definition and helps the opening keep its shape when carrying or moving the basket.
CANGGU is made in Java, Indonesia by experienced adult artisans. The fibres are sun-dried before weaving, and the production relies on manual techniques with minimal use of chemicals. Each piece is handmade, so small variations in size and weight are part of the character of the basket.

Why this product stands out
Water hyacinth is naturally robust, making it a reliable choice for baskets that are used daily—laundry, recycling, log storage, or as a cover basket for larger plant pots. The handles are integrated into the weave, so you can lift and move the basket with confidence. If you use it as a plant basket, the wide opening makes it easy to drop in a nursery pot and remove it again for watering.
Unlike thin decorative baskets that collapse over time, CANGGU is built for function: a thicker weave, a defined rim, and a balanced, round footprint that sits neatly on the floor.
How it works in the home
Place CANGGU next to the sofa for throws and magazines, in the hallway for hats and scarves, or in a bedroom corner as a laundry basket. It also suits larger indoor plants—especially when you want a softer, natural look than ceramic. In open shelving, it can be used as a clean storage solution for children’s toys or craft supplies, keeping the room visually calm.
