A corduroy storage basket with carry handles — storage you can leave in the middle of a room. That is the difference from a plastic tub: the corduroy exterior reads as a soft furnishing, so it lives beside a sofa or at the foot of a bed holding throws, toys, magazines or laundry without looking like storage at all.
Specifications

Buying guide
Use it for dry, bulky things — throws, toys, cushions — rather than anything damp, since fabric baskets hold moisture and mark. Fill it to keep its shape; a half-empty fabric basket slumps. Spot clean with a barely damp cloth and never soak it, which is what makes corduroy go stiff and patchy.
How it compares
Against a plastic tub, this can stay out in a living room without looking like storage. Against a woven rattan basket, corduroy is softer and quieter, with no snagging on knitwear, but it marks more easily. Against an ottoman, it is much lighter and cheaper, with no seat.
