Laundry Basket – Banana Fibre, Lid, Cylindrical
Product description
The OMBAK laundry basket with lid is a handwoven storage basket made from sturdy banana fibre, designed to keep everyday laundry and household items neatly out of sight. Its cylindrical shape (53 cm tall, 40 cm diameter) fits easily beside a bathtub, next to a wardrobe, or in a bedroom corner, while the matching lid with a raised handle makes it simple to open and close.
In the image, the basket shows a tightly coiled, hand-rolled fibre construction with a calm, natural brown tone. The surface has subtle variations and visible fibre character—details that come from sun-dried banana trunk strips and the fact that each piece is made by hand. The opaque weave is practical when you want laundry stored discreetly without creating visual clutter.
Beyond laundry, OMBAK works as a reliable lidded storage basket for throws, cushions, toys, or spare linens. The form holds its shape well, and the lid helps maintain a tidy look—especially useful in open-plan homes where storage often remains on display.

Why this product stands out
Banana fibre is taken from the layered trunks of agriculturally used banana trees—only older, dying trees are used—giving the material a second life as a durable plant fibre. The fibres are sun-dried to achieve their naturally deep, warm brown colour, then rolled into thick strands (approximately 6 mm) that create the basket’s stable, structured walls. Compared with lighter wicker-style baskets, this coiled construction offers a more compact, robust feel and keeps its shape well with regular use.
OMBAK is handmade in Java, Indonesia, under fair working conditions and without harmful chemicals. Packaging is plastic-free, keeping the product choice consistent from production to delivery.
