What is an inexpensive and elegant way to store my dirty laundry?
No to the wicker basket. You need something tall that holds more clothes while taking up less floor space. I have this from Ikea. It looks fine, it has a flap that covers the unsightly laundry, and it holds 18 gallons of dirty underwear and jeans. Not bad for $3.99.

Ha! Unfortunately, I don't have any closet space, being as GQ as I am and all!
Actually that Uncrate post is what inspired the question, but I'm put off by the price. Thanks, Russ.
Yeah I agree hard to stomach 230 bucks for dirty clothes! Honestly I bet you can find something that would work well in an open room at Target or somewhere maybe bed bath and beyond if you have time.
I like the look of a large wicker box, like: http://www.basketlady.com/Lift-off-Lid-Storage-Basket-p180.html
If you're not into wicker, I'd recommend this basket: http://www.stacksandstacks.com/oil-rubbed-bronze-double-folding-hamper
It's attractive, solid, and CHEAP (less than $40)! My boyfriend and I purchased one a while back and found that the bronze finish didn't really fit our decor, so we spray painted it with something that gave it a hammered, wrought iron finish. Here is the product we used: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00106C9CK/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=hi
Looks great!

come on man?!?! just put it in a laundry bad in the bottom of your closet or bathroom. Not everything has to be GQ.
Although....I do like "these".http://www.uncrate.com/men/home/bed-bath/dandux-laundry-carts/
