Soap Bag Rami

Made from ramie, an old fibre crop from the china grass family, this bag has a soft cream tone and a nubbly woven surface. The photo shows a drawstring top with a small round bead, keeping the shape practical without making the bathroom feel busy.

• The textured surface adds a satisfying, cloth-like scrub to everyday washing.
• Small soap ends can be gathered inside, so little slivers are easier to use up.
• The natural shade sits quietly beside handmade soaps, wooden brushes and stone bathroom pieces.
• The drawstring helps keep the bar contained as you wash.
• It offers a slower alternative to synthetic shower poufs, with a more grounded feel in the hand.

Place a bar of soap, or saved soap pieces, inside the bag and wet it thoroughly. Rub between your hands to build lather, then use the bag directly on the body with light pressure.

After use, rinse away excess soap and leave it somewhere airy to dry. Natural fibres last best when they are not left sitting in pooled water.

Ramie has been valued for fibre for a very long time, especially in East Asia, where plant fibres have traditionally been worked into practical household textiles. It is a useful choice for a bathroom accessory because the crop can live for many years and be harvested repeatedly. Here, that plant story becomes something small and daily: a biodegradable soap bag that makes bar soap easier to hold, easier to finish, and more pleasant to use.
