Natural fibre storage baskets ethically handcrafted by The Basket Room, Maison Bengal and Susan Early — a considered, biodegradable alternative to plastic storage boxes and mass-produced wicker baskets. Durable, beautifully made and neutral enough to sit well in almost any room scheme, these are the kind of sustainable storage solutions that do a proper job and look good doing it.
The Basket Room's hand-woven sisal baskets are made in Kenya by skilled artisan weavers, available in a natural weave, a charcoal check and a sage green check, and in a range of sizes from small plant pot holders to large blanket and laundry baskets — sturdy, breathable and built to last for years as a bathroom storage basket, a living room blanket storage basket, or a kids' toy storage solution. Maison Bengal's hogla baskets are hand-woven in Bangladesh from water hyacinth and hogla reed, with wide open weaves that make them a beautiful choice as a market basket, a large storage basket for towels and blankets, or as a natural plant pot cover for larger houseplants.
For something more investment-led, Susan Early's hand-woven willow baskets — a handled shopper with leather straps and a willow backpack — are fully handmade in Britain using traditional English willow basketry techniques, and represent a proper heirloom craft piece as much as an everyday carrier.
