You can never have too many baskets. This sturdy rectangular friend is exactly the kind of thing you get one of and then immediately discover that you need about a million (speaking from experience). Its wide handles and firm sides make it an obvious choice for corralling kiddo's toys + books, but it sure would look nice with a stack of cozy folded blankets (or guest towels, or laundry, or newspapers, or or or). Instant workhorse-bohemian cachet. Approximately 12" long, 7" wide x 5" tall/7" tall including handles.

Called "the golden fiber", jute is gorgeous powerhouse. In contrast to cotton and synthetics it's as au nauturale and sustainable as they come and the ultra-sturdy plant fibers yields baskets that can take a licking and keep on picking (up all the extra detritus in your house). Fair wage.

Jute's durability comes in part from its flexibility. These baskets are delightfully pliable, standing up firm when full, but can also fold or bend for maximum storage utility. If your basket gets a crease or you want to reshape, submerge in water and lay flat to dry, or steam and reshape.
