When you're looking for handcrafted storage that holds up to real use, this braided basket delivers American-made durability woven from polypropylene and nylon fibers.

How Is This Basket Actually Woven?

Each basket is handmade in the USA using a flat-braid technique that interlocks texturized polypropylene and nylon strands into a sturdy, flexible weave. The polypropylene resists stains and abrasion, while the nylon adds tensile strength, so the basket stands up to daily loading and unloading. Space-dyeing -- a random yarn-coloring process -- means every basket carries its own pattern variation, making yours genuinely one of a kind.

What Can You Choose on This Basket?

You can select from six colors, each built with the same space-dyed multicolor technique. Dk. Taupe and Earth Beige keep the palette quiet; Brilliant Red and Marina Blue anchor bolder rooms; Brown Velvet and Olive split the difference. The space-dye method means the exact color blend varies slightly from basket to basket, and dye lots differ within tolerable ranges, so your piece will look unique.

How Long Does It Take to Build?

Your basket is made to order in 8-10 weeks. Because each one is hand-woven to Rhody Rug's specifications, there's no warehouse stock -- production starts when you place your order, and the piece ships when it's ready.

Where Do You Use a Braided Storage Basket?

Set it beside the sofa to hold throw blankets and remotes, or tuck it on a shelf in the bathroom for rolled towels and toiletries. In the entryway it catches hats, gloves, and mail; in a child's room it corrals plush toys and picture books. Pair it with other woven pieces from our baskets collection to layer texture across the room without visual clutter.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build?

This basket is made to order in 8-10 weeks. It's hand-woven in the USA once you place your order.

Can I return a made-to-order basket?

Returnability follows the option you ordered, not how the piece was built. A size, finish or configuration shown as an option on this page can be returned within 30 days of delivery, subject to a 20% restocking fee -- whatever its build time. A specially requested size, or a piece made in your own material, is custom and is not returnable except on damage. Trade accounts have the restocking fee waived.

Where is it made?

Every basket is handmade in the USA using Rhody Rug's yarn specifications and traditional flat-braid techniques.

What do you put in a large woven basket in the living room?

Fill it with throw blankets, spare pillows, magazines, remotes, or toys for quick, floor-level storage that keeps clutter contained.

What's the difference between seagrass and polypropylene baskets?

Seagrass and water hyacinth are natural plant fibers that hold texture and scent, while polypropylene delivers consistent color, easy wipe-down cleaning, and superior durability in high-use settings.

How should I clean a polypropylene braided basket?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dry. The synthetic fiber resists stains and dries quickly, so maintenance is minimal.
