Pigeon & Poodle Astoria Wastebasket

Yes, the Astoria wastebasket is constructed with a sturdy frame that maintains its shape well. While it is a natural material, it is designed to be durable enough for everyday use in a bathroom, bedroom, or home office.

While the water hyacinth material is durable, it is a natural fiber and not waterproof. It is best suited for dry areas or bathrooms with good ventilation; avoid placing it directly in areas where it will be consistently exposed to water or dampness.

You can keep it clean by gently wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a vacuum attachment with a brush to remove any dust trapped within the weave.

This wastebasket has a 15-inch diameter, which is quite generous. While standard grocery bags may be too small, a standard kitchen-sized trash bag or a larger wastebasket liner will fit, though you may need to tuck the edges carefully to keep them hidden.

Because this item is handcrafted from natural water hyacinth, subtle variations in color, tone, and weave pattern are normal. These variations are part of the artisanal process and ensure that your specific piece is unique.
