"When creating LJUNGAN laundry basket, I focused on the quality and function going hand in hand with the craftsmanship of the artisans. The braided jute gives the basket an honest, timeless look with a nice feel. The cotton bag inside enhances the quality feel while making it easy to carry the laundry since it can be lifted out. It feels good that the collaboration with the social company Classical in Bangladesh also creates jobs and a steady income for women in rural areas."
