Which size is right for you?
Displayed in scale · dimensions are diameter × height
Each basket is hand-cut and finished, so sizes may vary by 2–3 cm.
The laundry basket is the only thing you see in your home every day and never really chose.
It was a supermarket visit years ago, or it came with the apartment. That's why it sits behind a door. A basket that you can happily leave in the corner changes the whole vibe of a room — and it costs less than the chair you’ve piled your clothes on.
- No problem to push out of sight when someone rings the doorbell
- Nothing that shows splitting at the edge the first time you overfill it
- Nothing that only looks good from one angle
Most laundry baskets ask you to choose between looking good and actually working.

What it's actually made of
Thick quilted cotton-polyester
Structured enough to shake off splashes and damp towels that come with real laundry, still soft and breathable instead of stiff and plastic-like.
Canvas handles, well stitched
Stitched through the body instead of attached at the edge, so a full basket can be carried upstairs without worry.
Retains its own shape
The quilting gives the walls enough body to stand upright — no frame, no wire ring, nothing that can break.
Quilted cotton-polyester mix · wrap-around print · stitched canvas handles · wipe or wash when needed · folds flat for storage
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it really stand upright, or does it sag?
It stands upright. The quilted walls are thick enough to retain their shape without a metal frame or plastic lining, so it stays upright empty, half full, or filled to the top. It's the one thing people write about the most, and it's why we make them quilted instead of from thin fabric.
How do I clean it?
Daily, wipe it down with a damp cloth. When it needs more, wash it on a cool, gentle cycle and let it air dry — not in the dryer, as the heat is what removes the shape from quilted fabric.
Will the pattern fade or peel?
No. The design is printed into the fabric rather than stitched or glued on, so there's nothing to peel or flake off. Wash it at a cool temperature and keep it out of hours of direct sunlight, and it will stay as it is.
Is every basket identical?
Almost identical, but not quite — and we prefer to say it that way. Each basket is hand-cut and quilted, so the pattern meets the seam on each basket a little differently, and the color may be a shade warmer or cooler than in the photo. The design itself is always as shown. If yours isn’t what you hoped for, you have 30 days to return it.
Is it heavy to carry when full?
The basket itself is light — it’s fabric, not molded plastic or wood — so what you're carrying is mostly the laundry. The canvas handles are stitched through the body, so they can carry a full load without stretching at the seam.
Can I use it for something other than laundry?
Many people do. It works as toy storage in a playroom, storage for blankets and throws next to the couch, spare bedding in a closet, or a catch-all basket that gets carried from room to room at the end of the day.
Is it a good gift?
It’s one of those things people often buy in twos — one for themselves and one for a daughter, sister, or new home. Add a note at checkout and we’ll leave the price off the packing slip.
Can I return it if it doesn’t work?
Yes. You have 30 days — if it doesn’t fit the room, get in touch and we’ll sort it out.
