Soft-sided, collapsable totes?
Perhaps someone has encountered a product that will fit our need ?
Our TT has ward cabinets on either side of our bed that we use for clothes storage. Folded shirts, shorts, trousers, socks and underwear. To keep things semi-organized and prevent a big pile of wadded up clothing, we use totes to hold the folded clothing.
Problem:
The inside of the cabinets are 12" wide, but the face frame opening is 9" So any sort of hard sided totes leave a lot of unused space side to side.
Solution:
A crushable, soft-side tote that can squeeze thru the opening but is actually wider.
Everything I have found in the "soft side" category has metal stiffeners to hold the shape.
Has anyone encountered a product that might work? Just a basket or heavy canvas that will hold folded clothing but can squeeze into the space.
Wondering if anyone has tried removing the metal stiffeners that commonly come in the soft side baskets typically found ?
I'm also considering getting some heavy canvas "boat and tote" bags and modifying (fold the sides in and sew or hot glue). LL Bean makes them but they are pricey. Looking for some cheaper alternatives.
Thanks for your ideas!
