# Title: Laundry Basket – Water Hyacinth, Beige


## Description: Product description SAMU is a handwoven water hyacinth basket designed for everyday storage, laundry, and simple plant styling. Made from dried water hyacinth fibres, it has a warm natural beige tone, a robust woven structure, and two integrated handles for easy lifting. The low, wide shape keeps contents accessible—use it as a laundry basket, a toy basket, or a tidy place for throws and cushions in calm, Scandinavian interiors. In the image, SAMU sits naturally beside a sofa where its soft, rounded silhouette and tactile weave add texture without feeling heavy. The braid-like rim and thick handles are part of the structure, giving the basket stability when carried and helping it keep its shape in daily use. Water hyacinth is a fast-growing aquatic plant that is harvested and sun-dried before being woven. The finished fibre feels slightly textured and organic, with subtle variations that come from natural material and hand production. Each basket is made by experienced artisans in Java, Indonesia, using traditional weaving techniques and without harmful chemicals. Key features at a glance Material: 100% water hyacinth (plant fibres), handwoven Dimensions: S: 21 × 33 cm (H without handles × Ø), M: 23 × 37 cm, L: 27 × 42 cm Special features: Integrated carry handles; flat, wide form for efficient organisation; plastic-free packaging Finish / construction: Dense, sturdy weave with a reinforced rim; handmade and fair trade Why this product stands out The difference with SAMU is its combination of weight, strength, and everyday usability. Water hyacinth fibres create a basket that feels substantial—well-suited to heavier loads like laundry, blankets, or magazines—while still looking refined. The flat profile also makes it practical where taller baskets become awkward: under benches, next to a sofa, or on open shelving where you want quick access and a tidy line. How it works in the home SAMU is made for real routines. Place it in the bedroom or bathroom as a laundry basket, in the living room for throws and cushions, or in the hallway for hats, gloves, and scarves. It also works as a plant basket: place a potted plant inside (ideally in a waterproof inner pot or on a saucer) to protect the natural fibres and make watering simple. Details Texture: Natural, tactile weave with subtle colour and pattern variations from the fibre Design: Round basket with two sturdy handles and a structured rim for stability Use & care: Keep dry; wipe with a soft, dry cloth or brush to remove dust. If used with plants, always use a liner/inner pot and avoid standing water. A tasteful gift idea As a practical storage basket in natural fibre, SAMU suits many homes and styles—ideal for housewarmings, new parents (toy and textile storage), or anyone who appreciates handmade craftsmanship and calm materials.
