Here, our favorite laundry baskets made from locally sourced and sustainable materials.

1. CATTAIL CATHEDRAL BASKET

Using locally harvested cattail stalks and strips of plastic used to make prayer mats, the women bring supplemental income to their households by weaving baskets between their daily duties.

2. TRI-TONED FLAT-LIDDED BASKET

This stylish African basket is woven from cattail stalks and strips of plastic by rural women in Senegal, West Africa. This adaptable basket features cut-out handles, a flat lid, and a unique half & half pattern. When placed against a wall, the basket can show only one of the two colors, or both!
