The Hipiwe Large Seagrass Bin features a 3.5mm gauge powder-coated iron frame wrapped in handwoven seagrass. This combination is designed to prevent the slumping often seen in non-reinforced woven bins. The "Coffee" finish is a topical pigment that provides a dark, sophisticated look, making it a suitable choice for visible wardrobe or living room shelving.
The lid uses a loop-and-peg closure, and the planar design allows for vertical nesting. For long-term stability, it is recommended to stack no more than three units high. Because seagrass has natural desiccant properties, it can help regulate micro-humidity within the bin better than plastic containers, which is beneficial for storing medium-weight linens and wools.
Specifications indicate that the handwoven nature of the product results in a size variance of about half an inch. If using these in tight-fitting shelf cubbies, this variance should be taken into account. To protect delicate knits from snagging on raw fiber ends, adding a fabric liner is a simple way to increase the bin's versatility for clothing storage.
If you prefer a set that includes multiple sizes for different shelf heights, the Decrafts Set of 2 Baskets offers a similar woven style in a nested pair.
This large bin is a reliable component for anyone building out modular closet system kits with natural materials.
