(wire) Basket Case

I've been obsessing over wire baskets lately. I can't stop thinking about them, it is like a disease.

It all started with this red-rimmed one from Wisteria:


My Sparrow



Restoration Hardware



The loosely woven Marche Baskets from the container store with matching waste basket

I didn't see it online, but at the store on 6th Avenue I saw they have a large chrome one for laundry that would be perfect for holding bolts of fabric. It was very tempting, but I imagined all of the dirty looks I would have gotten carrying that thing on the subway, also $50 still seemed pretty steep to me. I am hoping for a sale.

I also researched wire bins on wheels for another couple months like this one-
R and B Wire Commercial Laundry Carts



I'm wondering if it is possible to buy wire cloth/mesh from the hardware store to try to make one, maybe a wood base with wire body? hmmmm...

Hopefully posting these will get the thoughts out of my system for a while.
