Seagrass & Cotton Round Baskets with Lids – Natural – Set of 3

A set of three round seagrass baskets, each with a fitted lid and cotton handle on top. The lids are the key difference between this set and open storage baskets — they let you hide clutter completely while keeping the surface looking clean. The largest basket measures 29.5cm across and 22cm tall, big enough to hold toiletries, accessories, craft supplies, or small household items. All three nest together with lids removed.

What the Lids Change

• Lidded baskets work where open baskets don't — on surfaces where you want storage without visible contents. A bathroom shelf with cotton pads and hair ties, a hallway console with chargers and keys, a bedroom with jewellery and watches. The lid turns functional clutter into a tidy, finished surface.
• Each lid sits flush on its basket and has a small cotton loop handle centred on top for easy lifting. The fit is snug enough to stay in place when the basket is moved, but loose enough to remove one-handed.
• The largest basket (29.5cm across, 22cm tall) holds about the same volume as a medium mixing bowl. The medium (26cm across, 16.5cm tall) and small (21.5cm across, 14.5cm tall) suit countertops, shelves, and desk surfaces where space is tighter.
• The natural seagrass finish is undyed — a pale gold to warm tan range that works with nearly any colour scheme. With the lids on, these read as decorative objects rather than storage containers, which is why they sit well in living rooms and bedrooms where plastic boxes would look out of place.
• At 2.8kg for the full set, these have a satisfying weight that feels solid without being heavy. They stay put on a shelf and don't slide around when you lift the lid.

Seagrass, Cotton, Straw Core

Both the baskets and lids are built from coiled seagrass fibre bound over a straw core with cotton thread. The coiling technique produces a dense, rigid wall with a visible spiral pattern across the surface. The lid handle is a small cotton loop stitched into the centre of the lid during construction. Seagrass has a natural slight sheen that shifts with the light — it reads warmer in direct light and cooler in shade. Each piece is handwoven, so expect minor variations in tone, coil spacing, and exact fit between lid and basket. The lid will always sit properly, but the tolerance is handmade rather than machine-precise.

Placement and Care

These work well on any surface where you want tidy, concealed storage: bathroom shelves, bedroom dressers, hallway consoles, living room side tables, home office desks, or the top of a wardrobe. Grouped together they create a matched display. Used individually in different rooms, each basket functions as a standalone storage piece. The round shape and neutral tone suit most interior styles — modern, Scandinavian, coastal, rustic, or minimalist.

Wipe with a dry or lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking or prolonged contact with water — seagrass weakens with moisture over time. Keep away from sustained direct sunlight to prevent the fibres from drying out or yellowing unevenly. Store the lids on the baskets to help both pieces maintain their shape. These are indoor items.

Open vs. Lidded Storage

Most woven baskets are open-topped, which makes them good for items you grab frequently — blankets, magazines, towels. Lidded baskets serve a different purpose. They're better for things you want contained but don't need constant access to: spare toiletries, seasonal accessories, craft supplies, cables, or small items that would otherwise scatter across a surface. The lid also keeps dust off the contents, which matters for items stored long-term or in rooms with less frequent cleaning. If you need quick-grab access, an open basket may suit you better. If you want things put away and out of sight, the lid is worth having.

Sizes and Weight

Large: 29.5cm wide, 22cm tall (with lid). 

Medium: 26cm wide, 16.5cm tall. 

Small: 21.5cm wide, 14.5cm tall. 

The full set weighs around 2.8kg. All three baskets nest inside each other with lids removed, which keeps storage compact between uses.

A Considered Gift

Lidded baskets feel more finished and more intentional than open ones as a gift — the lids give the set a box-like quality that suggests something considered rather than purely practical. A strong choice for housewarmings, birthdays, or anyone who keeps a tidy home and would appreciate a natural-material alternative to plastic or fabric storage boxes. The set arrives nested.

Common Questions

Do the lids fit securely or do they fall off?
The lids sit snugly on each basket — firm enough to stay in place when you move the basket, loose enough to lift off easily with the cotton handle. The fit is handmade rather than airtight, so they rest on top rather than clicking into place.

Can I use these baskets in a bathroom?
Yes, as long as they're not in direct contact with water. They work well on a shelf or counter for storing cotton pads, toiletries, hair accessories, or spare products. The lid keeps contents dust-free. Avoid placing them where they'll be splashed regularly.

What's the difference between lidded and open seagrass baskets?
Lidded baskets conceal their contents completely, which keeps surfaces looking tidy and protects items from dust. Open baskets are better for things you access frequently. Choose based on whether you need quick-grab storage or a clean, finished look.

How do I clean seagrass baskets with lids?
Wipe the basket and lid with a dry cloth or dust with a soft brush. A lightly damp cloth works for marks. Do not soak or machine wash. Keep the lids on when not in use to help both pieces hold their shape.

Do all three baskets nest together?
Yes, with lids removed. They stack inside each other into a compact set, which is useful for storage or if you only want to display one or two at a time.
