White Wicker Laundry Hamper Hinged Lid | Edith's Washday

There's a particular kind of washday that feels less like a chore and more like a ritual—the kind where linens are gathered with care, sorted with intention, and the laundry hamper itself is beautiful enough to leave in plain sight. Edith's Washday Basket brings that gentle rhythm to your home. Handwoven from white-washed wicker with a hinged lid and removable cotton lining, it's the sort of hamper that doesn't hide in a cupboard—it earns its place beside a clawfoot tub, in a sunlit laundry nook, or tucked in a bedroom corner, adding vintage charm to everyday rituals.

This isn't just clever storage—it's thoughtful design. The hinged lid keeps laundry neatly contained while the removable cotton lining protects delicate garments and can be hand-washed when needed. The creamy white wash finish brings a light, airy quality to any room. Whether you're gathering linens for washing day, storing fresh towels for guests, or organising bedroom textiles, Edith does her work with warmth and grace—a nostalgic nod to countryside washrooms and quieter times.

Why This Washday Basket Deserves Its Place

Handwoven from white-washed willow wicker, each basket carries the natural variations in weave and tone that mark quality craftsmanship. The hinged lid is a practical feature that keeps laundry out of sight while adding vintage character. The removable cotton lining protects delicate contents and can be gently hand-washed when needed, keeping the basket fresh for years of use. The white wash finish develops a beautiful patina over time, becoming even more characterful with age.

Available in three sizes to suit different spaces and needs: Small for bathrooms or guest rooms, Large for family laundry or linen storage, or the Set of 2 for those who appreciate matching pieces throughout the home. The handwoven construction is designed for daily use while the hinged lid design makes it perfect for keeping laundry neatly contained.

Care Instructions

Wipe wicker gently with a dry cloth to remove dust. The cotton lining can be removed and gently hand-washed in cool water, then air dried flat. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the white wash finish and structural integrity. Store in a cool, dry space to preserve the weave. The natural wicker will develop a beautiful patina with age and use.

This is a piece that works quietly in the background while adding vintage charm and heritage character to any room it inhabits.
