A laundry basket has to do two things well: hold a full load and survive being carried when it does. At 32 x 32 x 45cm this takes a proper wash load, and the leather handles are the detail that matters — fabric handles are what tear first on any hamper, usually at the worst moment on a staircase. The collapsible design folds it flat when the laundry is done, so it stops occupying a bedroom corner permanently. The washable construction is worth having too, since a laundry basket accumulates exactly what it is designed to carry. Equally useful for storing linens, toys or general household items.

Buying guide
Do not let damp towels or gym kit sit in a closed fabric hamper — that is where the smell in a laundry basket comes from, not from the basket itself. Let wet items dry before they go in, or keep a separate ventilated container for them. Wash the hamper occasionally according to the label and let it dry fully before folding. Carry by both handles rather than one, which is what tears a handle mounting. Fold it away between wash days if the bedroom is short of space — that flexibility is the main advantage over a rigid basket.
How it compares
Against a rigid plastic hamper, this folds away and looks better in a bedroom, though plastic copes better with damp. Against a rattan basket, fabric is lighter and washable. For wet towels specifically, a ventilated plastic hamper is the more hygienic choice.
