Keep your laundry, linens, and firewood beautifully organized with the Ilala Palm Basket.

  • Base 50cm x 36cm x Height 36cm (not including handles)
  • Variations in dimensions may occur due to the handmade production of this item.
  • Please keep this in mind if selecting this item to fit in joinery or shelving.
  • The handles on this basket are flexible and can sit upright as per the image or be folded down.
  • Flexible sides make this basket larger than its base measurement.

These baskets are shipped folded flat, so they may require some gentle shaping to stand upright correctly. The Ilala Palm material is flexible, so you can fold any creases back onto themselves several times until they soften. For best results, stuff the basket with a blanket or towels for a few days to help it regain its natural shape.

  • This robust basket has been designed to last however jute changes colour in the sun, so be sure to keep it clear of harsh rays.
  • To clean, we suggest you vacuum your basket or occasionally take it outside on a dry day and shake it to dislodge dirt and dust particles.
  • Blot water-based spills with kitchen paper or an absorbent cloth as soon as possible. Do not rub stains or spills from your basket as this may spread the stain and loosen the jute fibres. For oil-based or coloured spills, please consult a specialist cleaning professional.
  • You may choose a protection treatment prior to using your basket. We recommend MicroSeal who offer a DIY protection and cleaning kit suitable for jute fibres.
