Description
This set of three round storage baskets is woven from natural seagrass with cotton, and each one is banded with its own colour of stripe. The largest carries near-black bands, the middle basket soft green and the smallest a muted blue, all edged with fine white zigzag stitching that lifts the warm tan of the weave. The baskets come in graduated sizes, so they nest neatly inside one another when you want them out of the way. The set measures 26cm across and 25cm high, and at 0.545KG for all three, they are light enough to carry from room to room with ease.
Open at the top and round in shape, they work hard in almost any room. In a living room the largest can gather throws, cushions or magazines, while the smaller two keep remote controls and chargers in one place. In a bedroom they hold folded jumpers, scarves and spare bedding. In a hallway they keep hats, gloves and dog leads together by the door, and in a playroom they make tidying away toys quick. Their natural tone sits comfortably with wood, linen and wool, so they suit rustic, Scandinavian and relaxed modern schemes alike.
Every 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 give each one its own character. The seagrass is coiled round and stitched through with cotton, which gives the zigzag detail its texture. To care for them, dust with a soft dry brush or cloth, and keep them somewhere dry, as natural fibres are happiest away from water and damp. We like them grouped together in a corner, or spread across shelves with the largest on the floor, and together they make a generous, useful gift.

Frequently Asked
How big are these seagrass storage baskets?
The set measures 26cm across and 25cm high. The three baskets come in graduated sizes, so the smaller two sit inside the largest.
What are the baskets made from?
They are woven from seagrass and stitched with cotton. That gives a warm natural tone banded with near-black, green and blue stripes and fine white zigzag stitching.
Can the three baskets be stored inside each other?
Yes. Because they come in graduated sizes, they nest neatly inside one another, which saves space when you are not using all three.
Will my baskets look exactly like each other or like another set?
Each basket is handmade, so no two are exactly alike. Expect small variations in colour, pattern and size, along with the subtle imperfections that make each one unique.
How should I look after seagrass baskets?
As general good practice for natural fibres, dust them with a soft dry brush or cloth and keep them in a dry spot away from water and damp.
Are the baskets heavy to move around?
Not at all. All three together weigh 0.545KG, so they are easy to lift and carry between rooms, even when you are tidying in a hurry.
