Description
This is a woven trunk made from water hyacinth, perfect for storage. It has a metal frame, with a fold down lid attached and handles either side to assist movement. Water Hyacinth has a fibrous tissue which makes it ideal for basket weaving. Artisans use traditional weaving techniques to create decorative yet durable pieces.
Our Stylist Says
I love this water hyacinth trunk for its natural, textured look that adds warmth and a relaxed vibe to any space. It works well in boho, coastal, or rustic interiors, especially when paired with light woods or soft textiles. Practical styling tips include using it for extra storage in living rooms, bedrooms, or even at the foot of the bed to keep clutter hidden while maintaining a casual aesthetic. It also serves as a versatile surface for decorative trays or plants on top, making it both functional and visually appealing in laid-back, stylish interiors.

About John Lewis
Founded in 1864, John Lewis is a trusted and beloved brand where you can find a diverse range of furniture for every style and budget, alongside finding the perfect item that reflects your personal taste.
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
