Laundry Basket with Liner — Seagrass & Cotton

The same basket with a removable undyed cotton liner that you can wash.

Material

Fibre: Seagrass and Cotton rope (Cyperus malaccensis, Gossypium herbaceum)
Weave density: Tight — no gaps you can see through. Holds fine items and most dust.
Woven by hand: Yes — handwoven. Small irregularities in the pattern are the mark of that.
Dyed: No. This is the fibre's own colour, which is why it varies between batches.

Tested load

8 kg

Static load, evenly distributed, standing on a flat floor. Held for 24 hours.

This is a measured figure under one stated condition, not a rating and not a guarantee. A different condition gives a different result — read how we test.

How it changes

Initial shedding: Light. Expect a little fine fibre for the first two to four weeks. Brush or vacuum it up; it stops on its own.
Shade & texture: Batches vary by up to ±10 % in shade and ±5 % in size. Two of these bought a year apart will not match exactly. That is a property of the fibre, not a fault.
Shape under load: Loaded fibre takes a set. Empty it and give it a day or two and most of the shape returns. Left loaded above the tested figure, or left damp under load, the change can be permanent.
Smell when new: A grassy, hay-like smell for the first one to two weeks. Air it in a dry, ventilated room.

Where it can live

Damp rooms: Rated for damp rooms in our testing, on the condition that the room is ventilated and the piece can dry out between uses.
Cleaning: The cotton liner is removable and can be machine washed at 30 °C. The basket itself is not washable: dust with a soft brush and wipe with a barely damp cloth.
Heat and flame: Natural fibre burns. Keep it away from candles, hobs, heaters and fireplaces.

Damp rooms need ventilation

In a bathroom or any damp room, natural fibre can grow mould if it cannot dry out. Use it only in a room with an extractor fan or an opening window, keep it out of direct spray, and let it dry between uses. We make no mould-proof or antibacterial claim.

Keep away from open flame and heat

Natural fibre burns. Keep it away from candles, fireplaces, heaters, hobs and hot appliances. We make no flame-retardancy claim for any piece we sell.

Dimensions

Outer: 400 mm diameter
Inner: 368 mm diameter — this is the space you actually get. Measure what you want to put in it against this figure, not the outer one.
Height: 550 mm
Tolerance: ±5 % on every dimension. Hand-woven pieces are not machined.

Origin

Designed in: Denmark
Made in: Vietnam

We list these separately on purpose. The design is Danish; the weaving is not, and we will not imply otherwise.

Also worth knowing

The liner is machine washable at 30 °C. The basket is not.
Do not put wet laundry in it, liner or no liner.
