• The outer layer is handwoven from braided jute and warm natural-coloured cotton, creating a textured, durable fabric.
• A fixed cotton lining is sewn into the interior to help contain and protect what’s stored inside.

• The handles are handcrafted from jute and firmly sewn into the basket for strength.

• Each Soha Laundry Basket is made in two stages by women artisans through a Fair Trade organisation.
• The outer layer is handwoven on traditional wooden looms in a rural community in Bangladesh. 
• Once complete, the fabric is sewn and constructed into laundry baskets by women in a sewing workshop in Dhaka.
• This two-stage process brings together specialised skills, supporting consistent work and fair wages across both weaving and sewing groups.

• Use for dry laundry only. Prolonged exposure to moisture may lead to mould or discolouration. If using for plants, place a waterproof liner or tray inside to protect the basket.
• Keep out of direct sunlight, as jute will naturally change colour over time.
• Baskets are gently folded for shipping and may need reshaping on arrival. Press out any creases, then fill with towels or blankets to help restore shape.
• Vacuum regularly or take outside and shake to remove dust.
• Blot spills immediately with an absorbent cloth. Do not rub, as this may spread the stain or loosen fibres.
• For oil-based or coloured spills, consult a professional cleaner.
• You may choose to apply a protection treatment suitable for natural fibres before use.

What is the difference between Natural and Bone? The colour difference is created by the cotton thread woven through the natural jute. Bone has a light, neutral off-white thread, resulting in a lighter basket suited to cooler and neutral tones. Natural has a warmer-toned thread, typically suited to warmer and neutral toned interiors.

Does the basket hold its shape? Yes, the structured weave and internal rubber layer help it stand upright, even when empty.

Is the lining removable? No, the cotton lining is fixed in place.

What can it be used for? In addition to laundry, it can be used for storing toys, exercise or yoga gear and other everyday items. Some customers choose to place a potted plant inside.

Will it be shipped upright or folded? This basket is gently folded for shipping and may need reshaping on arrival. Press out any creases, then fill with towels or blankets for a day or two to help restore shape.

Can it be used for wet laundry? We recommend using the basket for dry laundry only. Prolonged exposure to moisture may lead to mould or discolouration, so wet items should be dried before placing inside.

Can it be used to hold plants? Yes, but we recommend placing a deep plastic tray or waterproof liner inside to protect the basket from moisture and potential mould.
