wicker hamper

Woven storage container

A wicker hamper is a basket woven from flexible plant materials—typically willow, rattan, or reed—used for storage or transport.

The term most often refers to a laundry hamper for collecting dirty clothes, or a picnic hamper packed with food and utensils: She tossed the towels into the wicker hamper.

The woven construction allows air circulation while containing contents.
