Sabai grass or Eulaliopsis binata is a type of wild grass that grows in the forest fringe areas of West Bengal and Odisha. A tough fibre, the Sabai Grass is easy to work with, light, and can be dyed easily. The handmade Sabai products come in various styles from planters, storage baskets, fruit baskets and boxes to mats, coasters, handbags, wall décor, and even furniture. These intricately hand-woven products are naturally made, hence making them eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable. The products are durable and long-lasting, and so they’re definitely a value for money. Most Sabai made items retain their natural yellow ochre/whitish color, but these days, with the rising popularity of these handmade articles, natural and vegetable dyes are used by the artisans to color the Sabai strands and add a splash of color to the products. Azo-free dyes are also used sometimes, to elevate the look of the items. What’s important is that not only are the products attractive to look at, they’re also non-toxic and eco-friendly
