Storage Basket – Banana Fibre, White
Product description
KERSO is a handwoven storage basket made from sturdy banana fibre, finished with an open, geometric overlay in white cotton cord. Designed as a practical laundry basket or plant basket, it offers generous volume, stable sides, and easy carrying thanks to two integrated handles. The warm, natural fibre tone and calm pattern work well in pared-back Scandinavian interiors as well as softer boho spaces.
In the basket’s surface you can see the characteristic, rolled banana-fibre strands: slightly irregular in the best way, with a tactile, natural grip. The cotton cord is woven into a structured lattice that adds both strength and a clean visual rhythm. Because each basket is made by hand and the fibres vary naturally, small differences in colour and shape are part of the product and a sign of its craft origin.
Banana fibre is sourced from the layered trunks of agriculturally used banana trees once they reach the end of their life cycle. After drying in the sun, the fibres develop their deep, earthy brown tone before being rolled into thick strands and woven into a durable, dimensionally stable form. The result is a basket that feels substantial and holds its shape well for everyday storage.

Why this product stands out
Many woven baskets look similar at a distance, but KERSO’s construction is what makes it useful day-to-day. The rolled banana fibre gives the basket a firm, supportive wall that resists collapsing when filled with laundry or blankets. The cotton cord overlay adds a clearer graphic expression while also helping the basket keep its form. It is a considered alternative to plastic storage: tactile, breathable, and easy to live with.
How it works in the home
Use KERSO as a laundry basket in the bedroom or bathroom, where the handles make it easy to move between rooms. In the living room it works well for throws, cushions, or children’s toys—items you want close at hand without visual clutter. As a plant basket, it can conceal a standard nursery pot on a floor, beside a sofa, or near a window; place a waterproof inner liner or saucer inside to protect the fibres from moisture.
Details

A tasteful gift idea
KERSO is a practical gift for new homes, design-minded families, or anyone who prefers calm storage that stays visible. The neutral palette and honest materials make it easy to place in many interiors, whether used for laundry, linens, or as a planter cover.
