Laundry Basket – Banana Fiber, Cotton, Natural
Product description
PALEM is a round laundry basket with lid, handwoven from natural banana fibre with a graphic cotton stitch pattern. Designed as a practical boho laundry hamper and storage basket, it helps keep laundry, toys, blankets, or towels out of sight while still looking calm and considered in the room. A rigid metal frame inside the weave supports the basket’s bulbous shape, so it stands neatly even with everyday use.
The lower part is tightly woven in warm, straw-toned banana fibre, while the upper section and lid are finished with a black-and-natural zigzag motif in cotton. The lid lifts off fully, making it easy to load and carry, and the woven construction allows airflow—useful for textiles that benefit from ventilation.
Each basket is handmade on Java, Indonesia. Small variations in weave, tone, and dimensions are part of the craft and the natural material.

Why this product stands out
Many woven hampers lose their shape over time or collapse when half full. PALEM is built differently: the combination of robust banana fibre and an internal frame keeps the silhouette stable, which makes it easier to place in a corner, beside a wardrobe, or next to the washing machine without looking untidy. The lid is equally functional—ideal when you want laundry or children’s items stored discreetly, especially in open-plan homes.
Banana fibre is an untreated plant fibre with a tactile, slightly irregular surface. It brings warmth without feeling heavy, and it ages naturally with use—well suited to Scandinavian interiors where texture matters as much as colour.
How it works in the home
Use PALEM as a woven storage basket wherever clutter tends to gather:
- Bedroom: a laundry hamper by the wardrobe, with the lid keeping visual noise low
- Bathroom: storage for towels and washcloths (keep away from direct splashes)
- Living room: a discreet home for throws, cushions, or children’s toys
- Hallway: quick-drop storage for scarves, hats, and gloves
If you choose more than one size, the baskets can be stacked when not in use—useful for seasonal storage or compact homes.
Details
- Texture: tightly woven banana fibre base with cotton-stitched graphic pattern on the upper section and lid
- Design: rounded, lidded form with a small woven loop handle on top
- Care: dust regularly with a soft brush or dry cloth; wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed and allow to dry fully. Keep in a dry, well-ventilated area.
A tasteful gift idea
A lidded basket is a practical gift for new homes, families, or anyone who prefers an organised space without plastic storage. The natural fibre palette and clean pattern make it easy to match with neutral interiors.
