Handmade Alibaba Laundry Basket

£340.00

Stunning and unique ali baba style laundry basket with lid, for really making dirty washing a beautiful experience! Made entirely with organically grown Scottish willow from my patch in Lanarkshire and maybe a wee bit from Dumfries and Galloway, Edinburgh, and East Lothian.

A tall basket with a lid to toss your dirties in out of sight. Usually also made with a foot border to lift the basket an inch or so off the ground for extra air flow.

I love to make swirling patterns and colours on these baskets, and this will be led by the willow that I have in my workshop at the time and how the harvests have been recently.

Made using entirely organically grown Scottish willow from my patch in Lanarkshire and beyond, carries the Scottish Working Woods label.

length: 20”/ 51cm
width: 20”/ 51cm
height without handle: 30” / 76cm

all sizes ± 1”/2.5cm

The majority of my baskets are made to order, with lead time for delivery approximately 8 weeks. I do try and carry stock of the most popular baskets so if you have a specific timescale please contact me and I’ll see what I can do.

My willow is grown for colour, slenderness, stoutness, elasticity and length. It differs in colour of bark and behaviour when weaving- some are better for the structure, some for the weaving. As I am working with the willow that I have grown I may have to match different varieties depending on what is available and how the crop has grown that year. If you are after a particular colour scheme, please let me know, otherwise I will do my best to make it similar to the baskets photographed, but please allow for plenty of natural variation.
