How it's made
US-manufactured, mostly US materials
The Longaberger 1973 Round Laundry Basket with Attached Lining is a generously sized handwoven hard maple basket — 20.75″ diameter × 11.25″ tall — individually crafted by a skilled artisan weaver in Dresden, Ohio, the small Appalachian foothills town where Dave Longaberger founded the company in 1973. Each basket bears the "Longaberger, Dresden, OH, USA" burn mark along with the weaver's personal initials and production year, making every piece a uniquely traceable, signed work of American craft — finished with a commemorative gold-tone Longaberger tag. Available in three stains — Warm Brown, Multi, and Pewter — the attached fabric lining is included and coordinates with the basket's finish, making it ready to use straight from the box for laundry, blanket storage, toy organization, or as a standout decorative piece.
Why the StatesideScore™ is 7/10
Every basket is hand-woven by a skilled artisan in Dresden, Ohio and branded with the weaver's initials, production year, and the Dresden, OH, USA burn — a level of domestic manufacturing transparency rarely seen in home goods. Hard maple is a species native to the eastern United States and has been Longaberger's traditional raw material since 1973, though no explicit domestic sourcing confirmation for the maple strips or lining fabric appears in current product disclosures. Strong US handcraft heritage with unconfirmed raw material origin places this at a 7.
