Keep blankets, clothes and clutter out of sight, and keep them clean. This 16"x20" extra large cotton rope basket pairs a deep round body with a matching lid that zips fully shut, so dust, pet hair and curious paws stay out — whether it serves as a woven laundry hamper in the bedroom or a blanket storage basket beside the sofa. The body is double-woven from thick natural cotton rope — nearly 5 lbs of it — so it stands upright on its own, even when empty, with no plastic frame inside. Stitched leather handles on the body and the lid let you carry a full load in one trip, and the handwoven Navy Blue finish settles comfortably into boho, modern-farmhouse and minimalist rooms alike. A note on arrival: like all woven rope baskets, it ships folded and compressed, and may show creases from packaging. Unfolding it is easy, and there is more than one way to do it: stuff it with pillows or blankets for a day or two, pass a hand steamer over the creases while gently stretching, or simply push the folds out and shape the sides by hand. Once opened up, it takes its proper round shape for good. What fits inside: a week of family laundry, spare comforters and throw pillows, off-season clothes, beach towels, or the clutter that migrates around the living room. It also makes a warm housewarming or new-baby gift. Sized 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall. Spot clean with a damp cloth.
- Stands round and upright on its own, even empty — it ships folded, so unfold it any way you like: stuff it with blankets, steam the creases, or shape the sides by hand; the thick double-woven cotton rope then holds its form for good, no frame or liner
- Swallows tons of blankets — a true 16 inches wide by 20 inches tall, deep enough to put away spare comforters, towels, pillows, off-season clothes or a week of family laundry, hidden and kept clean behind one minimal look
- The lid zips fully shut — a sewn-in zipper closes the matching lid all the way around, sealing contents against dust, pet hair and curious paws, so nothing gets in and nothing spills out even if the basket tips over
- Sturdy leather handles on body and lid — two stitched side handles lift the full basket in one trip from bedroom to living room, and a matching leather pull opens the lid; firm to grab even when the basket is packed heavy
- Substantial, not flimsy — nearly 5 lbs of densely woven natural cotton rope with a soft touch and real weight to it, no plastic frame, no stiff wicker, no sharp edges to snag clothes; the Natural Jute colourway blends true jute strands
- Big capacity, small round footprint — the upright shape tucks into a corner of the living room, bedroom, closet, bathroom or nursery, working as a clothes hamper, storage chest or blanket bin wherever the mess collects
- Decor-worthy in every room — the handwoven Navy Blue finish brings a warm, cozy boho and modern-farmhouse look that matches what the photos show, and makes a thoughtful housewarming or new-baby gift

Made
Handwoven, shaped by hand
Ships
Folded flat, in a small box
It arrives folded. Two minutes later it stands up.
Every basket ships flat to keep it out of a bigger box. Unzip the lid first, pull the sides apart, push the base down and run your hand around the rim. Shape it open before you try to close it — a basket that is still folded will not line the zip up.
Open the lid all the way round before you start, so nothing pulls against the zip.
The zip is the one thing here that isn't rope.
We say everywhere else that there is no plastic, no wicker and no metal in our baskets. On this shape that is not quite true, and we would rather point at it than let you find it.
Everything except the zip is cotton rope — the body, the base, the lid panel and the tape the zip is stitched to. The zip itself is two materials: the teeth are resin, and the pull is zinc alloy with an iron locking piece inside it. Both sit on a cotton tape stitched into the rim. It is not a branded zip. So this basket is the one place in the range with plastic in it, and the one place with metal.
The material
This sucker is thick.
Double-woven cotton rope, 10 mm thick — the same rope as the tall flagon, in a shorter, wider shape. It weighs variant.weight empty, and the box it arrives in weighs about the same. No wire ring, no cardboard base, no liner. It stands up on its own with the lid open or closed.
The one that fits under a shelf
16 inches tall and 20 across — the only shape we make that is wider than it is tall. That is the whole reason it exists: it slides onto a closet shelf or under a hanging rail where the taller baskets will not go, and the zip lid keeps the contents out of sight when the shelf is open.
Eighteen colourways, photographed in daylight with no colour correction. The zip tape is matched to the rope on every one, so the lid reads as a seam rather than a stripe across the top.
Will it match your room?
Eighteen colourways, photographed in daylight with no colour correction. The zip tape is matched to the rope on every one, so the lid reads as a seam rather than a stripe across the top.
14 colourways, photographed in daylight and adjusted for brightness only. Naturals and jute for warm rooms; a two-tone if the pattern should do the work; rust, the greys and navy if it shouldn't.

Who makes this
You probably arrived from a search. Here's who we are.
Cottonphant makes one thing: storage baskets woven from 100% natural cotton rope. Every basket is handwoven and shaped by hand. Six shapes, up to thirty colours each — and no frames, liners or wicker anywhere in the range.
The five things people ask about the zip lid
Why does it arrive flat?
To keep the shipping box small. Pull the sides apart, push the base down and run your hand around the rim — about a minute — and it holds that shape from then on, empty or full.
Will it stand up on its own?
Yes. The rope is double-woven and thick enough to hold the shape without a frame, a liner or a plastic ring. It stays upright empty as well as full.
Will the colour look like the photograph?
Every colourway is photographed in daylight and adjusted for brightness only, never colour-corrected per basket. Each swatch on this page is a photograph of the rope itself.
How do I clean it?
Spot-clean with a damp cloth and let it air-dry. It is cotton rope with nothing inside it, so there is no liner or frame to damage.
Should I buy here or on Amazon?
Either — it is the same basket from the same stock. We recommend Amazon because returns are free and easy there. Buying direct costs you 5% less with code COTTON5.
