There is a particular satisfaction in finding an object that solves a problem beautifully. The Colonial Laundry Basket does exactly that. Handwoven from rattan in a tight, intricate pattern, it stands tall and confident — a piece that earns its place in a bathroom, a bedroom, or a child’s room not just by being useful, but by being genuinely beautiful.
The domed lid with its carved wooden knob keeps things tidy. The generous XL size holds a full load of laundry, a stack of towels, or a collection of toys that need a home. Move it from room to room as needed — it adapts without effort.
Why We Selected It
The Colonial Laundry Basket sits at the intersection of craft and function. The rattan weave carries the warmth of natural materials and the quiet confidence of something made by hand. The dark brown tones deepen over time, making it one of those objects that improves with age. In a white bathroom or a linen-toned bedroom, it anchors the space with an ethnic chic sensibility that feels considered rather than decorative.
Keep away from humid areas — excessive moisture can weaken rattan’s structure over time. Avoid excessive strain or adverse conditions to prevent breakage. Wipe clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Rattan requires treatment for weather and rot resistance if used in damp environments.
