Picking the perfect laundry basket involves three key steps. The first step is to find a handmade basket. Handmade baskets offer a level of quality, durability, and sustainability that you won’t find with mass-produced baskets.
Handmade baskets are also more eco-conscious, as many use sustainable materials, recycled goods, and minimal processing. Our laundry baskets and hampers are made with local grasses and recycled materials.
Buying handmade goods is also an excellent way to support the economy. When you purchase from an artisan or producer group, you help them earn fair, livable wages. This not only helps artisans across the globe support themselves, but it also helps them support their families.
In addition to looking for handmade goods, it’s also important to look for durability. You can often tell if a basket is durable based on the methods used to make it. At The Little Market, we support artisans who strive to preserve ancient and traditional techniques.
The last step is to find a laundry basket you like. If you have a separate laundry room, match your basket to the style. If you want to keep your laundry basket in your bedroom, you can match the style there too.
