Every colourway we make
Some storage hides in the corner. This one is a giraffe. At a true 18 inches across and 15 inches tall, the open-top giraffe basket swallows seven medium stuffed animals, the dog's stash, the evening laundry sweep or the living room blanket pile — behind embroidered black eyes and ears on a handwoven Yellow body that kids treat as part of the room. Cleanup becomes feeding the giraffe. It stays open on purpose: everything gets tossed in one-handed on the way past and grabbed back out just as fast. The body is double-woven from about 3.2 lbs of dense natural cotton rope — heavy-weight, not novelty-weight — with hidden handles woven in and no plastic frame. 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 holds its round shape for good. It gets bought as a gift as often as for the buyer's own home — baby showers, first birthdays, new-nursery setups — and it is photographed exactly as it ships. Spot clean with a damp cloth.
- A giraffe that eats the clutter — toss everything in and the handwoven giraffe with embroidered black eyes and ears turns cleanup into the cutest part of the room
- The size that swallows the cleanup pile — a true 18 inches across and 15 inches tall, big enough for seven medium stuffed animals, the dog's stash or the evening laundry sweep
- Open on purpose — no top to fight with, so clothes and clutter get tossed in one-handed on the way past and grabbed just as fast; things actually stay put away when putting them away is effortless
- Holds its round shape after one easy unfold — it ships folded, so open it up any way you like: stuff it with blankets for a day, steam the creases, or shape the sides by hand, and the thick double-woven rope then stands up on its own for good
- Heavy-weight, not novelty-weight — about 3.2 lbs of dense natural cotton rope with hidden woven-in handles and no plastic frame; built to be kids-room furniture, not a seasonal decoration
- A gift that gets used — baby showers, first birthdays and new-nursery setups; it arrives looking like a present before it is even wrapped
- One giraffe, done right — the handwoven Yellow body is photographed exactly as it ships and fits nursery, kids room and playroom decor alike

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. Open it, pull the sides apart, fluff it up and run your hand around the rim and the ears and neck. It holds its shape from then on — no frame, no liner, no plastic ring.
It comes out of the box pressed flat, ears and neck and all. That is on purpose — it keeps the shipping box small.
What actually fits in it?
Photographed beside a dining chair, because a basket on a white background could be any size. It swallows an evening's worth of floor clutter and still stands up on its own.
The material
There is nothing hard in it.
Double-woven cotton rope, 10 mm thick, and that is the whole basket. It weighs variant.weight empty, and the box it arrives in weighs about the same. No wire ring, no cardboard base, no plastic liner, no metal frame. It stands up because the rope is thick, not because there is something rigid inside it.
The ears and the neck are the same rope as the body. The ears are woven as tapered pieces and stitched to the rim; the neck is woven up from the body itself, so the tallest part of the basket is the part with no seam in it.
It looks expensive online. It feels worth it in hand.
That is the thing buyers say most often after it arrives: it looked overpriced on a screen, then felt worth it once they picked it up. The rope is heavy. The weave is tight. Photographs flatten both.
The same cotton rope, with wings, ears or fins. Catch-all bins for playrooms and nurseries, the kind that gets left out on purpose.
All five animals
Bear, bee, fox, giraffe and whale.

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 parents ask before they buy
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.
