The Woven Water Hyacinth Basket Beliani MONTAGU is a decorative storage piece crafted from natural water hyacinth fibers. Lightweight and breathable, the basket features a textured woven finish that adds organic character to interior spaces. It is intended for use as a versatile organiser for household items, textiles or as a decorative planter cover, suitable for living rooms, bathrooms and entryways where eco-friendly storage is preferred.
Advantages
The basket is constructed from renewable water hyacinth fibers, providing a natural appearance and a degree of breathability that helps prevent dampness in stored textiles. Its woven texture contributes visual warmth and tactile interest without adding significant weight. The neutral colour and simple shape make it easy to integrate into different décor styles while offering practical open storage for everyday items.
Suitable for
- Storing throws, cushions or linens in a living room or bedroom
- Organising towels and bathroom accessories
- Grouping recycling or lightweight household items in an entryway
- Hiding a potted plant container or creating a decorative planter cover
When it may not be suitable
This basket is made from natural fibers and is not waterproof; it is therefore not suitable for direct outdoor use or for storing items that must remain fully dry in wet conditions. The woven construction is intended for lightweight to medium-weight contents; heavy, sharp or irregular objects may deform the shape or damage the weave over time.
Key specifications
- Material: natural water hyacinth fibers
- Finish: hand-woven textured surface

How to use
Place the basket on a stable, dry surface and use it to store textiles, small household items or to conceal a plant pot. For use as a planter cover, insert the plant container into the basket rather than placing soil directly inside to avoid moisture contact with the fibres. When organising textiles, fold items neatly to maintain the basket’s shape and circulation of air around the contents.
What to consider before purchase
- Not waterproof — avoid exposure to rain or wet environments
- Intended for indoor use only
- Best for lightweight to medium-weight items to preserve shape
Usage recommendations
To extend the life of the woven water hyacinth fibres, keep the basket away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Clean by shaking out dust or wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid soaking. If used as a planter cover, place a saucer under the inner pot to catch any excess water.
