Laundry Basket – Banana Fibre, Natural
Product description
SYAILENDRA is a handwoven laundry and storage basket made primarily from sturdy banana fibre, finished with practical loop handles for easy carrying. The design is clean and tactile, with visible coil-woven lines and natural colour variation that suits Scandinavian, Japandi and calm boho interiors. Use it as a laundry hamper, a plant basket (as a cover pot), or simple everyday storage in rooms where you want natural materials and clear function.
The basket’s surface shows the character of sun-dried banana fibre: warm brown tones, subtle shifts in shade, and a slightly textured feel that reads relaxed but considered. Each piece is shaped by hand in Java, Indonesia, and reinforced with nylon thread to help the form stay stable in daily use. Because the fibres are natural and the work is manual, small variations in colour, weave and size are part of the product rather than a defect.

Why this product stands out
Many woven baskets are soft or lose shape over time. SYAILENDRA is made from banana fibre rolled into thicker strands, creating a basket that holds its form and stands steadily on the floor. Banana fibre is sourced from the layered trunks of agriculturally used banana trees; once the tree reaches the end of its productive life, the fibres are dried in the sun and used as a durable raw material. The result is a basket that feels substantial, looks natural, and works hard in everyday routines—without added chemicals and with minimal production emissions.
How it works in the home
As a laundry basket, the handles make it easy to move between bedroom, bathroom and laundry area, while the structured sides keep the basket upright even when not full. As a plant basket, it works well as a cover around a nursery pot to soften the look of greenery—place a waterproof liner or saucer inside to protect the fibres from moisture. It also fits naturally on a hallway console for scarves and gloves, beside a sofa for throws, or in a child’s room for toys where you want storage that doesn’t look utilitarian.
Details
- Texture: Natural, slightly coarse weave with visible coil lines and warm brown tones
- Design: Minimal cylindrical shape with two loop handles; understated and easy to style
- Usage & care: Keep dry; dust regularly or wipe with a dry/very slightly damp cloth. If used for plants, always use a waterproof inner pot or liner to avoid staining and fibre softening.
A tasteful gift idea
SYAILENDRA is a practical gift for new homes, students, and anyone building a calmer storage system. The neutral natural fibre works across interiors, and the function is flexible—laundry, blankets, toys, or plant styling—without needing to know the recipient’s exact taste.
