The Natural Seagrass Basket is a hand-braided storage basket made from natural seagrass fibre, featuring a round silhouette, two looped handles, and a foldable top half. It functions as a practical and decorative storage solution for household items such as blankets, toys, or laundry, and can also serve as a planter or catchall.

Product Insights
The Natural Seagrass Basket from Simons Maison is a humidity-tolerant bathroom accessory that repels minor splashes and maintains shape in up to 80% humidity, requiring weekly dry-cloth dusting and a liner or silica gel to prevent mildew. Its rigid fibers ensure shape retention and it resists moisture better than water hyacinth, but above 80% humidity without ventilation, it may swell or mildew.
Verified claims
- Humidity tolerance
- Seagrass repels minor splashes and holds shape in up to 80% humidity.
- Maintenance
- Weekly dry-cloth wiping and a plastic liner or silica gel packets reduce mildew risk in humid bathrooms.
- Care
- The seagrass basket is best maintained with weekly dry-cloth wiping, occasional vinegar cleaning for mold spores, and ventilation to avoid prolonged humidity above 80%.
- Liner
- A plastic liner inside the basket creates a dry microclimate and prevents direct contact with wet towels or bottles.
- Shape retention
- Seagrass’s rigid fibers help the basket hold its shape without frequent reshaping.
- Moisture resistance
- Seagrass resists moisture and mold in bathrooms better than water hyacinth.
- Humidity limits
- Basket may swell or mildew above 80% humidity without ventilation.
- Splash resistance
- The seagrass fibers have a natural waxy coating that provides mild water resistance, letting the basket repel minor bathroom splashes and brief humidity spikes without immediately absorbing moisture.
- Drying between uses
- The basket tolerates everyday bathroom moisture when it dries out fully between uses, so it should be placed where air can circulate and occasionally set in the sun to kill residual spores.
- Foldability
- The basket can be folded down for storage when not in use.
- Color options
- The only color listed for the basket is brown; the 'Assorted' variant likely refers to size options rather than multiple colors.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Natural Seagrass Basket: Choose this if you want a practical yet decorative storage basket in a trendy, modern look, made of natural seagrass with a hand-braided herringbone-style weave, loop handles, and a foldable top that lowers its height from about 16.5 inches in diameter by 19 inches tall to 13.5 inches. It suits open storage of larger items, since the woven walls have small light gaps where strands separate. Note that dimensions may vary piece to piece—something the merchant says gives each basket its own unique beauty—and the color is listed as assorted.[1,2,3] | Seagrass Round Woven Basket: Choose this if you want a decorative yet practical open-top basket for storage, made of woven natural seagrass with a rolled rim and two upright looped handles. It comes in one size, about 12 inches (31 cm) tall with a 15 inch (38 cm) diameter, and its unlined interior shows the same woven texture as the exterior. Note that since it is a natural fiber piece, some colour and dimension variation is expected, which the brand frames as giving each basket its own unique character.[4,5,6] | Braided Water Hyacinth Basket: Choose this if you want a small, open-top natural-fiber basket: it is made of braided water hyacinth over a soft frame, roughly 11 inches (28 cm) long and 7 inches (17.5 cm) high, in one size and a brown color with natural tan-to-brown variation. Its square shape, cutout handles on the shorter sides, and rounded wrapped-braid rim suit carrying and shelf storage, and the same braided material lines the inside walls. Note that the fiber shows a rustic, textured surface with slight fraying and small splits, and one buyer reported the basket felt damp or oily when purchased and later developed growth, so it may be worth considering for dry, ventilated spots.[7,8,9,10] |
