Which size is right for you?
Scale shown · 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 every day in your home and never really chose.
It was a supermarket visit years ago, or it came with the apartment. That's why it’s hidden behind a door. A basket that you’re happy to leave in the corner changes the whole atmosphere of a room — and it costs less than the chair you’ve piled your clothes on.
- Nothing to push out of sight when someone rings the doorbell
- Nothing that splits 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 functioning.

What it’s actually made of
Thick quilted cotton-polyester
Structured enough to shake off the splashes and damp towels that come with real laundry, still soft and breathable instead of stiff and plastic-like.
Canvas handles, well-stitched
Sewn into the body rather than attached at the edge, so a full basket goes up the stairs without you doubting the handle.
Holds its own shape
The quilted walls have enough body to stand upright without a frame, no wire ring, nothing to break.
Quilted cotton-polyester blend · continuous print · stitched canvas handles · removable or washable when needed · folds flat for storage
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it really stand on its own, or does it sag?
It stands. The quilted walls are thick enough to hold their own shape without a wire frame or plastic lining, so it stays upright, empty, half full, or filled to the brim. 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 air dry — not in the dryer, as the heat will take the shape out of the quilted fabric.
Do the patterns wear or fade?
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 stays as is.
Is every basket identical?
Almost, but not quite — and we prefer to say that. Each basket is hand-cut and quilted, so the pattern meets the seam slightly differently on each basket and the color may be slightly warmer or cooler than 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 mainly 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, blankets and throws next to the couch, spare bedding in a closet, or a cleanup 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 most often buy in pairs — 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’s not right?
Yes. You have 30 days — if it’s not right for the room, contact us and we’ll take care of it.
