Multipurpose, appealing on the eye storage! They have a natural herbal scent to them that is not unpleasant but does lighten with time. They can be used for any gentle storage but I use the largest one and the the smallest one as a Landry basket in the bedroom and bathroom as clothes tend to pile up without easy accessibility to a Landry bin. The medium one I decided to used for extra pillow and blankets in the living room. Lovely and I get a lot of compliments!
