Stylish laundry basket review
One of the perks of blogging is that you sometimes get lovely things to review. As my regular readers know, I am currently staying with my brother. As my eldest teenage son also came home to roost last year, my brother’s washing loads have gone up a lot along with his water bills. So I was delighted when the wonderful folks at Mokee got in touch. I hope you enjoy my stylish laundry basket review.
Stylish laundry basket
The first thing to say about the laundry basket is that it is so very attractive as you can see from the image. In fact, I would say the picture does not really get over how lovely it is to look at. I know laundry baskets are practical items but we like our homes to have pretty things in them and this basket is certainly that. It is a wicker colour but with gorgeous blue and white detailing. It is made of seagrass and I am now looking for new seagrass items because it is a real head-turner as a decorative item that also serves a useful purpose.
Strong and practical
Washing clothing is not the most fun in the world but somehow this laundry basket makes the task so much easier to accomplish. It is really strong and unlike other baskets does not have bits coming off it from time to time. It has really user-friendly handles so I can carry it up and downstairs with ease. My brother did not have a laundry basket so was carrying items to the line a few items at a time. This makes pegging out in this glorious warm weather quick and easy. Even better, the basket comes with a washable linen lining.
Dimensions
The manually woven laundry basket is designed for a nursery so might be smaller than your usual basket. However I find it works well for my needs.
H55 cm x W35 cm x D35 cm
Price and delivery
The cost of this stylish laundry basket is £75 which means you get free delivery. You may well be tempted to add other items to your order if you have a little one as Mokee sell cots, Moses baskets and other nursery essentials.

This is a lovely looking laundry basket. Looks very sturdy and obviously very practical. I love that wicker look, it brings a warm and homely feel to any area. #StayClassyMama

These look lovely! Whenever I have shopped for washing baskets in the past, I have found it so difficult to find a nice looking one for a reasonable price. Good luck with all the washing!! #GlobalBlogging

This is much fancier than the tatty one we have. Nudges husband, orders one and pretends it has been in the room for ages, and he just hasn’t noticed it… 😉

Wow you should see my laundry baskets – they are embarrassing compared to this one. I have had them for years now. It has never even occurred to me to upgrade them until I read this review Kate. I may have to give this some consideration. Very stylish indeed! #globalblogging
