A handwoven rattan reed laundry basket made by an Old Order Amish family, built over a solid hardwood bottom with a hardwood rim and riveted leather handles. The oval shape sits against the hip when carried, and the basket is signed by the weaver. It suits shoppers who want a durable, decorative basket that doubles as a room piece rather than a folding plastic hamper. Against typical mass-market hampers, it trades light weight and low cost for sturdiness, repairability and craft. Owners rate it highly, with 25 ratings averaging 5 out of 5.

This is an oval laundry and towel basket, handwoven from rattan reed by an Old Order Amish family on the Iowa-Missouri border. The weaver signs the bottom. The color is woven in as dyed reed, not painted on.
It has a solid hardwood bottom about a half inch thick and a hardwood rim. Two hand-cut leather handle loops are riveted through the weave and the rim. The bottom is built to carry a full load without sagging, and the oval shape sits against the hip when carried.
It holds a load of wash, folded laundry or rolled bath towels. The measurements are taken at the outside of the rim, and the sides flare out slightly from the base. The basket is open and unlined, and it is complete without the optional extras.
