Mustard Made's reintroduction of The Skinny and The Shorty lockers marks the return of the brand's foundational designs. These pieces are what originally established the design-forward company's reputation in functional storage solutions.
The Skinny and The Shorty lockers are single-door models that will be available again in the U.S. market on May 21st. The two pieces represent Mustard Made's interpretation of traditional locker aesthetics, and the silhouettes effectively blend nostalgic schoolhouse charm with contemporary durability and design sensibility.
As acknowledged by co-founder Becca Stern, these particular locker styles hold special significance as the products that catalyzed the brand's success. The two size options accommodate different spatial requirements and usage scenarios - from compact urban dwellings to more spacious family homes. Small business owners, particularly in creative fields or boutique retail, might find these lockers ideal for back-of-house organization or customer-facing storage that aligns with aesthetic branding, too.
