Don't give your laundry a basket

Ditch the laundry basket, there's a more elegant solution: the Laundrybag from reisenthel makes your dirty corner more attractive.

Do you fancy doing dirty laundry? No? Me neither. But what must be done, must be done. Otherwise things will quickly stink to high heaven. To be honest, I was hoping that the Laundrybag from reisenthel would change that. The pictures raised my hopes. High hopes for additional functions that make life easier. Magnetically snapping together slats that absorb bad odours and spread the scent of roses. Something like that. But: not a chance. There is also no app for the laundry bag. You just get a nice laundry bag.

Stands earthquake-proof, does what it should

Perhaps I initially saw more in it because its slim silhouette makes it look much more elegant than a rectangular laundry bag. According to the description, it wants to be "functional and stylish". The style thing is individual. I like it. I have tested the function. And it works. Laundry bag open, laundry in, laundry bag closed. No problems whatsoever. Distance throws with socks are possible for experienced shooters with the right positioning, but you have to stuff larger items of clothing inside. But at 55 litres, it holds considerably more than it seems. And the bag is just as earthquake-proof on its reinforced base as a bulky basket.

In general, the high-quality material promises a long laundry bag life and the colour-contrasting carrying strap is practical. Instead of heaving a basket down the stairs with outstretched arms and a clumsy gait, constantly running the risk of overlooking tripping hazards, I throw my bag behind me and stroll relaxed into the basement.

A little style critique

As a self-proclaimed laundry bag style critic, I say: an absolute it-piece among the dirty bags, which combined with worn-out trainers and a baggy shirt makes for an elegant appearance in any laundry room. Whether you're in New York, Paris or Toggenburg - you're sure to get a drum roll with 1000 revolutions. And between you and me: it's just a bag you can stuff your dirty laundry into. But a nice one. From a manufacturer whose biggest hit is a basket.
