We love The White Company's Alibaba Collection, not least because we've spent years searching a basket that combines the exotic with the relaxed. Hand-woven in Vietnam from natural seagrass and bound with cotton rope, this versatile basket has a lift-off lid and beautiful white-wash finish that gives any bathroom, bedroom or utility room a stylish look.

The basket comes complete with a handy white cotton liner, which can be easily removed to carry your clothing to the washing machine, and also to be cleaned and refreshed ready for the next wash.
