Storage Basket – Banana Fibre, Seagrass, Natural
Product description
MAJALENGKA is a handwoven storage basket made from natural banana fibre and seagrass, finished with sturdy carry handles for everyday use. Its soft rectangular silhouette makes it practical as a laundry basket, a plant basket (cachepot), or a flexible organiser for living spaces where you want storage to sit calmly in view.
The basket is woven in two distinct zones: a warm, darker base made from sun-dried banana fibre and a lighter upper section in seagrass. The natural fibres create a tactile surface with gentle variation in tone and weave—details that suit Scandinavian interiors where texture replaces ornament. The open top gives easy access for sorting laundry, collecting toys, or storing blankets, while the integrated handles make it easy to move from room to room.
Each basket is made by experienced artisans in Java, Indonesia. Because the materials are plant-based and the weaving is done by hand, small differences in size, colour, and shape are part of the product and a sign of the craft behind it.

Why this product stands out
Many storage baskets are either rigid and bulky or soft and quickly lose their shape. MAJALENGKA sits in the middle: the weave has enough structure to hold its form, while the natural fibres keep it light and easy to handle. Banana fibre brings strength and a deeper, earthy colour, while seagrass adds a finer texture and a clean, neutral tone. Together they create a basket that works as visible storage—useful when you want to keep everyday items accessible without introducing plastic tubs or heavy boxes.
How it works in the home
Use MAJALENGKA as a laundry basket in the bathroom or bedroom, where the handles make quick trips to the washing machine easier. In the living room, it’s suited for throws, cushions, magazines, or children’s toys—items you want to put away fast while keeping the room calm. As a plant basket, it functions as an outer cover for a nursery pot; simply place a waterproof liner or saucer inside to protect the fibres from moisture.

A tasteful gift idea
