Which size is right for you?
Shown to scale · measurements are diameter × height
Each basket is cut and finished by hand, so sizes may vary by 1–3″.
Most people don't stop at one
One for the bedroom, a smaller one for the bathroom, a big one for the linens. Add more than one and the price comes down — nothing to enter, it's applied in your cart.
Mix any sizes and any designs — the discount still applies. One basket is perfectly fine too.
The laundry basket is the one thing in your house you look at every day and never actually chose.
It was a supermarket run years ago, or it came with the apartment. Which is why it lives behind a door. A basket you'd happily leave standing in the corner changes the whole feel of a room — and it costs less than the chair you've been piling clothes on.
- Nothing to shove out of sight when someone knocks
- Nothing splitting at the rim the first time you overfill it
- Nothing that only looks right from one angle
Most laundry baskets ask you to choose between looking good and actually working.

What it's actually made of
Thick quilted design
Structured enough to shrug off the splashes and damp towels that come with real laundry, still soft and breathable rather than stiff and plasticky.
Canvas handles, properly stitched
Sewn through the body rather than tacked to the rim, so a full basket goes up the stairs without you second-guessing the handle.
Holds its own shape
The quilting gives the walls enough body to stand upright on their own — no frame, no wire ring, nothing to snap.
Quilted design · wrap-around print · stitched canvas handles · wipe clean or wash when needed · folds flat for storage
What customers are saying
"I bought it thinking it would be a pretty thing that flopped over, and it doesn't — it stands there properly even with nothing in it. It lives in the corner of the bedroom now instead of behind the door."
"Ordered the medium first and liked it enough that a small one followed for the bathroom. The pattern goes all the way around, so it doesn't matter which way it's turned. Handles are proper stitched canvas, not the flimsy sort."
"Bought two in the end, one for us and one for my daughter's spare room. She asked where it was from before she'd even put anything in it."
Common questions
Will it really stand up on its own, or does it slump?
It stands. The quilted walls are thick enough to hold their own shape without a wire frame or a plastic liner, so it stays upright empty, half full, or piled to the top. It's the single thing people write in about most, and it's the reason we make them quilted rather than from thin fabric.
How do I clean it?
Day to day, wipe it down with a damp cloth. When it needs more, wash it cool on a gentle cycle and let it air dry — don't tumble dry it, as the heat is what takes the shape out of quilted fabric.
Will the pattern rub off or fade?
No. The design is printed into the fabric rather than stitched or stuck on top, so there's nothing to peel or flake. Wash it cool and keep it out of hours of direct sun and it stays as it is.
Is every basket identical?
Very close, but not quite — and we'd rather say so. Each one is cut and quilted by hand, so the pattern meets the seam a little differently on every basket and the color can sit a shade 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 send it back.
Is it heavy to carry when it's full?
The basket itself is light — it's fabric, not molded plastic or wood — so what you're carrying is mostly the washing. The canvas handles are stitched through the body so they take a full load without stretching at the seam.
Can I use it for anything other than laundry?
Plenty of people do. It works as toy storage in a playroom, blanket and throw storage beside the sofa, spare bedding in a wardrobe, or a tidy-up basket that gets carried room to room at the end of the day.
Does it make a good gift?
It's one of the things people most often buy two of — one for themselves and one for a daughter, a sister, or a 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, get in touch and we'll sort it out.
