Storage Basket – Banana Fiber, White Cotton
Product description
Storage Basket PURA is a round, handwoven storage and laundry basket made from sturdy banana fibre, finished with a white cotton cord lattice. Designed as a practical floor basket with integrated side handles, it works equally well as a plant basket (cover pot), a laundry hamper, or everyday storage for throws, toys, and towels. The natural brown fibre brings warmth, while the crisp white pattern keeps the look clean and considered—well suited to calm Scandinavian interiors.
The basket’s surface has a distinct, tactile weave: sun-dried banana fibre is rolled into robust strands that hold their shape, then wrapped with cotton cords in a traditional geometric pattern. The result is a structured basket that feels natural in the hand and looks refined on open shelving or on the floor. Because each piece is handmade, small variations in weave, tone, and shape are part of the character and proof of craft rather than a flaw.
For plant use, PURA functions as a decorative planter basket: place your potted plant inside and, if needed, add a waterproof liner or saucer to protect the fibres from moisture. For laundry, the wide opening makes it easy to drop in clothing, and the handles make carrying to the washing machine straightforward.

Why this product stands out
Banana fibre is a strong plant-based material with natural structure—ideal when you want a basket that keeps its form without feeling rigid or industrial. The cotton cord overlay adds extra stability at the rim and creates a light graphic contrast against the warm fibre. Compared with softer rope baskets, PURA is better at holding shape; compared with hard containers, it stays quiet visually and easy to move around the home.
How it works in the home
Use PURA as a laundry basket in the bedroom or bathroom where you want breathable storage that doesn’t look utilitarian. In the living room, it keeps blankets and magazines close at hand beside the sofa. In the hallway, it’s a simple solution for hats, gloves, and scarves. As a planter basket, it suits medium to larger indoor plants; place it near a window or on the floor by a sideboard for an organised, natural look.

A tasteful gift idea
