“Combining a minimalist design with everyday utility, the Grid toiletry bag is a practical and refined solution for storing and carrying your daily essentials.” : HAY
Two sizes, zip-fastened, with a handle: the small (24 cm wide, 10.5 cm high) is flat; the medium (26 x 14 x 14 cm) is taller and more boxy. The water-repellent nylon can be wiped clean with a sponge.
Recycled nylon and the grid pattern
The entire Grid series is cut from the same fabric, which HAY lists as 79% recycled nylon, 21% recycled polyester: 79% recycled nylon, complemented by recycled polyester, with a water-repellent finish that lets rain slide off and wipes clean with a sponge. The subtle grid pattern woven into the material gives the series its name. Three deep colors—burgundy, dark blue, and dark green—and a small HAY logo serve as the only signature.
Grid, the HAY bag series
Grid is the family of travel bags and pouches by HAY, presented in its “Travel” range: a large XL bag, a weekend bag in three sizes, a crossbody bag, a small Everyday bag, a toiletry bag, and a pouch in two sizes. HAY sums up the idea common to all pieces: “combining a minimalist design with everyday utility”.
The design
The Grid series is not attributed to any external designer: HAY signs it with its own name and its product page carries no author credit. This is common for this publisher, which calls on independent designers for part of its catalog and designs the rest itself. Here, what defines the piece is the material: HAY cuts it from a blend of 79% recycled nylon and 21% recycled polyester, with a water-repellent finish, a subtle grid pattern, and two shoulder straps.
