Stash It In Style

Where does a heritage-loving clothes hound toss his dirty chambray at the end of the day? Restoration Hardware offers up a solution: A hamper skillfully constructed from the weathered cotton canvas that once covered delivery trucks and open market stalls around the world. One of the retailer's roving buyers stockpiled a decade's worth of the vintage tarps before having them crafted into durable home goods, preserving any unique finishes, patches or hand-mended stitches. And while the large version makes for a hamper that's good-looking enough to be left out in the open, the smaller size would be an ideal firewood holder.

• The same antique canvas tarps were also used for a series of totes.
