Plastic weaving

Traidcraft have got a lot of ethical but quite ugly products on their site. But you can also trip across beautifully crafted and well priced baskets. This £45 set consists of a large lidded laundry basket with a cotton fabric lining and drawstring, one large handled open basket and two smaller ones. They're made in Thailand by ThaiCraft, a non-profit organisation which works with artisan groups to help them gain self-reliance and preserve Thailand's indigenous crafts. Now there's a thought to dwell on when you pull out your dirty laundry.
