- Stands up on its own — empty, half full, or piled to the top
- The pattern wraps the whole way round, so there is no bad side to hide
- Canvas handles stitched in, not glued on — carry it up the stairs full
- Folds flat and slides under the bed when you don't need it out
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 house. 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
Why the obvious fixes never stuck
The plastic bin from the supermarket
Cheap, and it works — for a while. Then it stiffens, cracks at the handle, and it was never something you wanted on show anyway.
A wicker or seagrass basket
Lovely to look at, but the woven ends catch on jumpers and tights, and there's no washing it when something leaks at the bottom.
A pop-up mesh hamper
It packs away beautifully, which is exactly the problem — it also folds itself over the moment it's half full.
The chair in the bedroom
Free, and it works right up until the chair disappears under three weeks of washing and stops being a chair.
Most laundry baskets ask you to choose between looking good and actually working.

What it's actually made of
Thick quilted cotton-poly
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 cotton-poly blend · wrap-around print · stitched canvas handles · wipe clean or wash when needed · folds flat for storage
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 3–8 cm.
Ordering more than one?
Most homes need more than one basket — one for the bedroom, a smaller one for the bathroom, a big one for the linens. If you're buying a few, the price comes down as you add them. Nothing to enter; it's applied in your cart.
Discounts are applied automatically in your cart — no code needed. One basket is perfectly fine too.
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.
What size should I order?
Medium (41 × 56 cm) suits most bedrooms and is the size most people choose first. Small (36 × 46 cm) is right for a bathroom, a child's room or a small unit. Large (51 × 71 cm) is for a family load, or for storing bedding, towels and throws. There's a scale drawing further up the page if you're between two.
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.
Will it look exactly like the photos?
Very close, but not pixel-identical, and we'd rather say so. Each basket is printed and cut individually, so colours, pattern placement and where the design meets at the edges can shift by around 20% from the sample photos. The main design always stays as shown, and sizes can differ by 3–8 cm.
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.
Is it heavy to carry when it's full?
The basket itself is light — it's fabric, not moulded 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 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.
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 round, so it doesn't matter which way it's turned. Handles are proper stitched canvas, not the flimsy sort."
