WolvesAndi Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 HEllo All, Sorry didnt know what topic to drop this in. My friend is looking to buy a few big drape hampers that you see on tours with the cloth sides and the wooden lids. Any one know the best place for theese, its not something I've ever seen on sale. Cheers Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Don't have a specific answer, but your friend could try looking for suppliers of equipment for commercial laundries, hospitals, hotels etcetera. Or alternatively contact companies like Blackout and ask them what they use and where they get them from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 We find mailsacks quite handy for smaller drapes. Also somebody like Plastor for larger plastic trunks. I don't think I've ever clapped eyes on a hamper like you describe. What's the advantage? Lower weight? Or do the cloth sides help the drapes air? I figure it must be easy to rip cloth sides in a tight truck pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolvesAndi Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 something like that http://sktheatricaldraperies.com/products/102-canvas-hampers but in the uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 http://www.laundrystuff.co.uk/categories/ancillary-items Any good? No lids, but they would be easy enough to add. Given that the American firm is one that manufactures theatrical drapes, I assume you've tried the UK equivalents - eg J&C Joels, Promptside, Whaleys etcetera?

the kid Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Possibly try one of the BIG hotel chains or an industrial laundrette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
