Woven by hand from durable cotton rope, this laundry basket brings a soft, natural texture to any room while keeping everyday clutter under control. The sturdy yet flexible build holds its shape when full and folds down flat when you don't need it, so it never takes up more space than it should.
Built-in handles make it easy to carry laundry between the bedroom, bathroom and washing line, and the neutral woven finish suits modern, minimalist and farmhouse-style homes alike.

Buying guide
Use it in the laundry room for dirty clothes, in the bedroom for blankets and pillows, or in a child's room for toys. Because it folds flat, it's easy to tuck away in a cupboard on wash day once it's empty.
- Spot clean the rope exterior with a damp cloth
- Air dry fully before refilling to keep the cotton fresh
- Avoid soaking, as this can stretch the woven fibres
Frequently asked questions
Can I use this basket for things other than laundry?
Yes. Its soft, sturdy structure makes it just as suited to storing blankets, pillows, towels or children's toys as it is to holding laundry.
How do I clean the basket?
Wipe the cotton rope down with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry fully. Avoid soaking or machine washing, as this can loosen the weave over time.
Does it fold away when empty?
Yes, the foldable design lets it collapse flat, so it's easy to store out of sight between uses.
Will it hold its shape when full?
The handwoven cotton rope gives a soft feel but a sturdy structure, so it keeps its form even when loaded with laundry or bulkier items like blankets.
