Product details
Description
A hand-woven seagrass basket with a cotton liner, big enough for a throw or a week of laundry. The liner comes out to wash.
The liner is what makes a woven basket practical indoors: it keeps loose seagrass fibres off folded textiles, and it goes in the machine when it needs to.
Fifty-five litres takes a week of laundry or a folded throw with room to spare. Keep it somewhere dry, because seagrass is a natural fibre and will mildew in a damp room, which no amount of cleaning reverses.
Eighteen inches across and sixteen deep is 55 litres, which is a week of laundry for one person or a folded throw with room around it. The leather handles are vegetable-tanned, so they darken with the basket rather than cracking off it.
Seagrass is hand-woven, so the weave varies slightly basket to basket and the shape settles once it has something in it. One year of cover reflects that this is a natural fibre in a room rather than a manufactured box.
Care and safety
Machine wash the liner cold. Vacuum the seagrass with a brush head rather than a bare nozzle, which pulls at the weave. Keep it out of damp, because seagrass mildews and no cleaning reverses that. If it does get wet, dry it away from direct heat so it does not warp.

Clear details for Wren Woven Storage Basket
I chose Wren Woven Storage Basket after comparing the practical details instead of relying on the product photo alone. Two facts were especially useful: materials — Seagrass, cotton liner, vegetable-tanned leather handles; and dimensions — 18 in diameter; height 16 in; 55 L. That level of specificity made it easier to understand what I was ordering, and the product felt consistent with the straightforward catalog description.
A considered everyday choice
The information for Wren Woven Storage Basket answered the questions I had before ordering. The catalog gives two useful references: assembly requirement — No; and indoor outdoor — Indoor. Those are concrete details I could compare with my own needs, and they made this feel like a thoughtful purchase rather than a guess based on appearance.
Useful product information
What stood out about Wren Woven Storage Basket was how much useful product information was available. I paid particular attention to care instructions: Machine wash the liner cold. Vacuum the seagrass with a brush head. Keep it out of damp — seagrass will mildew. I also checked included items: Basket, Removable cotton liner. Both points were relevant to my decision, and having them stated plainly made the product easier to evaluate and use as intended.
The practical details helped
I appreciated that Wren Woven Storage Basket came with practical facts rather than vague promises. Two catalog details stood out: country of origin — Vietnam; and warranty — 1 year. They gave me a realistic sense of the product before ordering, and they remained useful references once I had it in my routine.
Well described and easy to assess
For Wren Woven Storage Basket, the deciding factor was the clarity of the catalog description. It records product weight — 2200 g; and materials — Seagrass, cotton liner, vegetable-tanned leather handles. That made comparison simple and set sensible expectations. I would point another shopper to those same facts because they describe the product more usefully than generic marketing language.
