Hampers (and Such) to Help You Sort the Laundry

So, in your research travels, have you found a sectional laundry hamper that is eco-groovy? Something along the lines of the Ingrid Anderson design, but with two or three compartments (for doing a pre-sort on the laundry), and hopefully not so pricey? -- question posted in comments, from organizer Claire Josefine

Sorry, Claire - I really haven't. But I'll share some of the more interesting products I have found. The one above is the HamperTote from ORE - and the company says it's orange, although the picture looks red to me.




And here's the quite-similar 3-in-1 laundry bag from John Lewis in the U.K. - except, of course, it says colours, not colors.




These individual laundry totes could also be used for sorting. [via Sarah's Fab Day]




This willow divided laundry cart is a different sort of portable option.




Another popular style is this triple laundry sorter - bags that hang from a metal frame.




This triple laundry sorter has labeled bags.




And this double laundry basket from Incidence is labeled in French. (Available for purchase from Amazon.fr, among other places)




The most stylish option of this type is the x-frame laundry hamper from SimpleHuman - there's a single version of this hamper, too. It's widely available.




Then we come to the sorting hampers; this one comes from Kangaroom. Two little pictures distinguish colors from whites.




Pottery Barn has this divided hamper. It's made from seagrass, so I suppose it has some eco goodness. It's not inexpensive, though. (You can get a cheaper seagrass divided hamper at CostPlus World Market.)




And finally, this bamboo laundry sorter - again, not inexpensive - is made by Wireworks.
