White Wicker Laundry Basket Cotton Lined | The Edith

There's something quietly satisfying about a laundry basket that does its job without announcing itself. This piece comes from a workshop where craftspeople still weave wicker by hand, using techniques that prioritize breathability and durability over speed and cost-cutting.

The white finish isn't painted on—it's part of the willow itself, treated to maintain its soft, light appearance whilst keeping the natural strength of the fibres intact. The hinged lid is positioned to open smoothly without catching, and the cotton lining is cut generously enough to remove and wash without wrestling with tight corners.

This isn't about making laundry romantic (it's still laundry). It's about choosing storage that handles the practical realities of damp towels and worn clothes whilst looking like something you'd actually want in your bathroom. The kind of piece that quietly earns its place rather than demanding attention.
