Black Woven Storage Basket with Lid - Medium Laundry Hamper
This medium handwoven basket brings warm, artisan texture and a clean monochrome look to any room. Woven from mulaza palm in a flecked natural-and-black pattern and finished with a fitted flat lid, it is sized for laundry, blankets, or toys - and handsome enough to leave out as an accent piece in a bedroom, bathroom, or living room.
Each basket is handcrafted in Malawi from locally grown palm leaves, some left natural and some dyed black, then coiled and woven entirely by hand. Because every piece is made by hand, no two are exactly alike.
Dimensions: 17.5" H x 16" diameter. Flat lid and two cut-out side handles. Handwoven; tone and pattern vary slightly.
