| Large Braided Water Hyacinth Basket: Choose this if you want a large open-top oval basket in natural water hyacinth, braided over a soft frame, with two round loop handles on the shorter sides that Simons describes as practical for carrying and storing. Its chunky braided weave and rustic, delightfully imperfect texture suit a natural look, with slight color variation between strands and occasional frayed fiber ends noted in image analysis. It measures 17 x 15 x 9.5 inches (43 x 38 x 24.5 cm) and comes in one size in an assorted color listing.[1,2,3] | Large Water Hyacinth Storage Basket With Lid: Choose this if you want a lidded, rectangular storage basket in natural water hyacinth that keeps contents covered while staying easy to carry, with built-in handles and a braided weave over a rigid frame at roughly 15.75 by 12.5 by 10.25 inches (40 by 32 by 26 cm). Its chunky plaited texture, matte fiber finish, and rustic, pleasantly imperfect artisanal character suit shoppers who like handmade-looking natural decor, and it is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada. Note that it comes in one size with an Assorted color listing, and the strands show slight natural color variation between pieces.[4,5] | Braided Water Hyacinth Basket: Choose this if you want a natural-fibre storage basket for a bathroom or shelf: it is made of braided water hyacinth over a soft frame, with a square, open-top shape roughly 11 inches long and 7 inches high, and rectangular cutout handles on the shorter sides that the retailer calls practical for carrying and storing. Its thick braided rows form a textured, ridged surface, and the retailer presents it as an artisanal accent with a delightfully imperfect rustic texture. Expect natural color variation—lighter tan fibers mixed with darker brown streaks and knots—and note that the braids show slight fraying and small surface splits in the product photos.[6,7,8] |
