Mez 770201 Base for Bag/Basket

Mez Grid for DIY Handbag — Size M Base Insert for Crocheted, Knitted, and Sewn Bags

The Mez Grid for DIY Handbag in Size M measures 33.5 × 35.5 cm and serves as a ready-made rigid base for handmade bags. Handcrafted bags made from yarn, fabric strips, or macramé tend to stretch and sag at the bottom once they are loaded with everyday items; this plastic grid sits inside the finished piece to keep the base flat and the sides upright. The white finish blends into the lining of most bags, so the insert stays out of sight while doing the structural work.

What to look for when buying a bag base

Choosing the right size is the most important step: the grid should match the finished base of your bag so it sits flush without buckling or showing through the sides. Mez offers the same grid in three sizes — S, M, and L — so crafters can match the insert to small clutches, medium totes, or larger shopper bags. The rigid plastic construction is light enough not to weigh down a handmade project, yet firm enough to keep the bag's silhouette clean even when it is full.
