Baskets in a nursery are picked up ten times a day: nappy caddy on the changing table, blocks under the sofa, muslins by the crib. The specification that matters is not the aesthetic — it is soft edges, no shed fibre, and a colour that reads warm on the parenting shelf. This page is a shortlist for exactly that.
What buyers ask for on this category
- Rounded corners, no rough edges. Nursery baskets must not scratch a low table or catch on a crib rail. HMD sands the corner weave before final cure to remove sharp fibre ends.
- Cotton liner as a standard option. Cream, sand, or buyer-branded print. Liner keeps small objects from working through the weave and softens the interior for direct contact with baby items.
- Palette that reads warm under nursery LEDs. Natural water hyacinth reads as honey-tan in photography and warm in the room. Bleached-white and grey-wash finishes are available for Scandinavian palettes.
- Set that fits a changing-table shelf. 10–13 inch wide sets so three fit side by side on a standard changing station. HMD-013 and HMD-001 are the working sizes for that shelf.

Container maths
A 20-foot container typically carries 500–700 nested nursery sets across three to four SKUs. A 40-foot high-cube typically carries 1,300–1,500 nested sets across five to seven SKUs, ideal for a full nursery buying programme that mixes sizes and colours.
Frequently asked
Are the baskets safe for babies to reach into?
Yes, with normal supervision. HMD sands corner weave before cure so there are no sharp fibre ends. The baskets are not designed for a baby to chew, and no basket should hold small items within a young child's reach — that is a general nursery safety rule, not specific to the material.
Do the baskets shed fibre?
Very little after the second wash and cure cycle. Water hyacinth is stalk fibre, not fluff; it does not shed the way jute or rope can. Any loose fibre visible on arrival is cured off after one household wipe with a dry cloth.
What is the MOQ for a nursery buying programme?
MOQ is 300 to 500 units per SKU. A first nursery order typically confirms three SKUs across two size ranges to test velocity on the shelf. Mixed containers with matching colourways are welcome.
Can we get bleached-white or grey-wash finishes?
Yes. Bleached-white is a standard finish available across the storage line. Grey-wash is a two-week custom-colour lead-time addition and is priced per SKU. Buyer-supplied colour references are matched at sampling stage.
Do you supply matching cotton liners?
Yes. Cream, sand, and buyer-branded print liners are available as an add-on SKU. Minimum liner run is 200 units per colour. Liners are sewn to fit each basket size — not one-size-fits-all — so tolerances are tight.
What is the lead time from PO to FOB HCMC?
Standard nursery designs ship in six to eight weeks from confirmed PO. Custom liners or a new colourway add two to three weeks for sampling. Container consolidation adds three to five working days after production is complete.
