Vintage Pink Lloyd Loom Linen Basket by Lusty Retro Laundry Hamper with Formica Lid 1950s Mid Century Storage Shabby Chic Bathroom Decor

A very rare Lloyd Loom linen basket with an original pink Formica seat.

This is a charming vintage Lloyd Loom laundry bin by Lusty, featuring its original pink painted wicker finish, on the customary base gold, and a striking mid-century Formica lid. The iconic Lloyd Loom woven construction provides both durability and aesthetic appeal, and the piece still retains its original maker’s badge on the inner rim, reading “Lloyd Loom – a Lusty product.”

The curved barrel shape and delicate woven texture are quintessentially 1950s, ideal for a retro-themed interior, vintage-inspired bedroom, or eclectic bathroom setting. The top lid is particularly striking, made from mottled pink Formica bordered in glossy black edging, creating a vibrant contrast that nods to the era’s love of pastel and atomic styling. Inside, the bin is painted a soft pastel pink and has a clean, dry interior ready for use.

There is age-appropriate wear to the paintwork and hinge plate, which adds to the character of the piece without affecting its use. The lid opens and closes smoothly, and the structure is sturdy with no sagging or loose weave. Whether used as a laundry bin, quirky storage, or even a small side table with a removable lid, this piece offers both function and flair. An ideal find for collectors of Lloyd Loom or anyone drawn to playful, vintage statement pieces.
