Rectangular, with lid

Round baskets make you roll your blankets. This one doesn't — and it zips. The 22x14x18 inch rectangular shape takes comforters, throws and pillows folded flat, and the matching lid closes with a sewn-in zipper all the way around, sealing everything against dust, pet hair and curious paws. Nothing gets in, and nothing spills out even if the basket tips. The body is double-woven from about 6 lbs of thick natural cotton rope — dense enough that the sides stand straight with no frame inside, soft and smooth with nothing prickly. Stitched leather handles on the body and the lid carry a full load in one trip, and the handwoven Dark Grey finish settles 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 holds its rectangular form for good. The upright rectangle tucks against a wall, into a bedroom corner or along a closet shelf where round baskets waste space. Care is simple: spot clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry before zipping the lid closed. Built to be used for years, not seasons.

• Blankets lie flat, not rolled — the 22x14x18 inch rectangular shape takes folded blankets, comforters and pillows the way a round basket never can, from tv blankets to the spare-bedding pile
• 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
• Holds its shape after one easy unfold — it ships folded flat; stuff it with blankets for a day, steam the creases, or push the sides out by hand, and the thick double-woven rope stands straight for good with no frame inside
• Stitched leather handles on body and lid — two side handles carry the full basket in one trip, and a matching leather pull opens the lid; light enough to move, firm to grab even when packed
• An investment that lasts years — about 6 lbs of dense natural cotton rope with a soft, smooth feel, nothing prickly and no plastic frame; the weight you feel in the weave is the quality you paid for
• Big capacity, clean footprint — the upright rectangle tucks against a wall or into a closet, bedroom corner or living room shelf niche where round baskets waste space
• Decor-worthy in every room — the handwoven Dark Grey finish matches the photos and settles into boho, modern-farmhouse and minimalist spaces, and makes a warm housewarming or new-baby gift
