Description
This set of two round jute storage baskets pairs a natural basket with a black one, each banded with stitched stripes in contrasting colours. The smaller basket is the warm, sandy shade of natural jute, edged at the rim and base with orange and a black and white braid. The larger is black, with three bands of green and natural braid running round it. Woven from jute and cotton, the two come in graduated sizes, so the smaller nests neatly inside the larger when you want to tuck one away. Nested, the set measures 24cm across and 23cm high, and the pair weighs 0.79KG.
Round baskets like these make a practical home for the everyday clutter that gathers in a living room, bedroom or hallway: folded throws, magazines, knitting yarn, slippers or a child's soft toys. Use them side by side, split them between rooms, or set the smaller one on a bookshelf while the larger sits on the floor beside a sofa or armchair. The natural and black pairing sits happily with wood, wicker and pale walls, and the stripes add a cheerful line of colour without overwhelming a room. Because they come as a coordinated pair, they make a useful and generous gift for anyone who loves a tidy home.
Each basket is handmade, so no two are exactly alike: expect small variations in colour, pattern and size, along with subtle imperfections that give every one its own character. The jute is coiled and stitched into upright sides with a neat braided rim. Jute is a natural fibre, so keep the baskets dry and away from damp; dust them or run a vacuum brush over them now and then, and lift any marks with a barely damp cloth. Fill the larger with throws for the sofa and the smaller with odds and ends by the door, and you have two tidy corners from one set.
