Double steaming is a heat treatment, not a paint: the willow goes through steam twice, so the colour runs through the wall and a scuff comes up the same shade. Tan faux leather buckles and hinges, handles worked into the sides. Small, large, or one of each as a set.
A removable cotton lining comes with every size, and it is what makes a willow basket usable for laundry: it washes, and it keeps damp clothes off the weave. The small suits one person or a couple, the large a household, the set sorts washing as it goes in.

FAQs
What does double steamed mean?
The willow is steamed twice before weaving. Steaming draws tannin from the bark into the willow, so the colour goes through the willow rather than sitting on it. It is the darkest and warmest of our standard finishes.
How does it differ from the other boutique hampers?
Only in finish and fittings. All three are the same shell at the same sizes and weights. This is double steamed with tan faux leather; the others are white wash with white, and antique wash with grey.
Which size should I choose?
The small at 39 x 29 x 44 cm suits one or two people. The large at 46 x 37 x 50 cm takes a family's washing. The set gives you one of each, which is the usual answer where lights and darks are separated.
Does the lining come out?
Yes, on every size. It is cotton, it lifts out and it washes, then goes back once it is fully dry.
