The happimess Laurel basket is hand woven from abaca fiber over a shaped frame, measuring 19 inches across, which is large enough to hold a folded throw blanket and a couple of pillows rather than just magazines. Abaca is a banana leaf fiber that is stiffer and more durable than seagrass, so the basket holds its round shape when empty instead of collapsing inward, which is the usual failure mode of cheaper woven bins. The natural color varies across the weave because the fiber is undyed. Best fit: beside a sofa for blankets, in a nursery for stuffed animals, or as a planter cover for a large potted plant. Because it is hand woven, the weave pattern is slightly different on every unit.
Pros
- Abaca fiber is stiffer than seagrass, so it stands up on its own when empty
- 19 inches across, large enough for a folded throw plus pillows
- Undyed natural color, so it works against both warm and cool palettes
- Hand woven, so the pattern is slightly unique on each one
Cons
- Natural fiber means the tone varies between units, so a second one bought later may not match exactly
Frequently asked questions
Can you put a plant directly in it?
Not directly. Use it as a cachepot with the nursery pot and a saucer inside. Water sitting against abaca fiber will stain and eventually rot it.
Does it hold its shape when empty?
Yes, which is the main reason to pay more than a seagrass bin. Abaca is stiff enough that the round profile stays rather than slumping.
How do you clean it?
Vacuum with a brush attachment or wipe with a barely damp cloth. Do not soak it, and let it dry fully if it does get wet.
Does it have handles?
It has integrated woven side openings rather than protruding handles, which is why the silhouette stays clean when it is sitting out.
