Description
This set of two round jute storage baskets brings together a deep black band on one and a warm orange band on the other, each sitting over a natural woven base picked out in fine black zigzag stitching. The two come in graduated sizes, so the smaller basket nests inside the larger one when you want to save space. Woven from jute and cotton, they have a soft, slightly rustic texture and a neat coiled shape that stands up on its own. Together the set measures 17cm across and 14cm tall, and the pair weighs just 375g, light enough to move from room to room without a second thought.
We like them anywhere a few small things tend to gather. On a bookshelf or a desk they keep notebooks, pens and chargers in order; on a dressing table they hold hair ties, brushes and other odds and ends; in a hallway they catch keys, gloves and sunglasses by the door. The black and orange together bring a confident splash of colour to a neutral room, and the natural base keeps them easy to live with alongside wood, white walls and soft furnishings. Use them side by side as a pair or split them between two rooms.
Each basket is handmade, so no two are exactly alike: you may see small variations in colour, pattern and size, along with the subtle imperfections that come from work done by hand, and we think that is a large part of their charm. Jute is a natural fibre, so keep the baskets somewhere dry, shake or brush out any dust and spot clean with a barely damp cloth, letting them dry fully before refilling. For a tidy finish, set the larger basket on a low shelf with the smaller one beside it, or nest them together and let the orange show at the rim of the black.

Frequently Asked
How big are these storage baskets?
The set measures 17cm across and 14cm tall. The two baskets come in graduated sizes, so the smaller one nests neatly inside the larger.
What are the baskets made from?
They are woven from jute and cotton, which gives them a natural, textured feel with a coloured band sitting over a woven base.
What colours are the two baskets?
One basket has a deep black band and the other a warm orange band, each above a natural base with fine black zigzag stitching.
Do the two baskets nest together?
Yes, they come in graduated sizes, so the smaller orange basket sits inside the larger black one to save space when you are not using both.
Are both baskets identical in finish?
No. Each basket is handmade, so expect small variations in colour, pattern and size, along with subtle imperfections that make every one unique.
How should I look after jute baskets?
Keep them somewhere dry, shake or brush out dust now and then, and spot clean with a barely damp cloth, letting them dry fully afterwards.
