Know before you buy
Yes, the exterior features a water-resistant finish, making it durable enough for bathroom use. However, it is intended for dry wastepaper, so it should not be used for wet trash or placed directly in standing water.
The scalloped top features a decorative, wavy edge design that adds a touch of flair, while the flat top offers a clean, straight-edged silhouette. Both options maintain the same dimensions and construction quality.
You can keep the basket looking its best by wiping it down with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the decoupaged artwork and the hand-painted edges.
Yes, the edges are hand-painted in your choice of gold or silver. This detail is applied by artisans during the finishing process to complement the specific color palette of the Laura Park artwork.
Because each piece is individually hand-cut and decoupaged by artisans, there may be slight variations in the placement of the artwork. This ensures that every wastebasket is a unique, one-of-a-kind item.
