Lauva 75L Foldable Laundry Basket

A 75 litre fabric hamper with reinforced handles and a waterproof lining, built to fold flat when it is not needed. Seventy-five litres is a genuinely large capacity: a full household wash rather than a couple of days of shirts.

The waterproof lining is the detail that matters. Damp towels and swimwear go straight in without soaking through onto a bedroom carpet, and the lining wipes out afterwards rather than holding the smell. The reinforced handles are stitched rather than simply looped through the fabric, which is what lets the basket be lifted full without the seams pulling apart at the corners. At 75 litres it comfortably holds a week's washing for one person or a full household wash, so it suits a utility room or a landing cupboard where laundry collects between wash days rather than a small bathroom.

Handles on both sides mean it can be carried full to a machine or a line without the sides collapsing inward, which is where cheaper fabric hampers fail. Four designs to choose between. When the laundry is done it folds flat and slides behind a door or under a bed, which is the argument for fabric over a rigid basket in a small flat.
