Think of a classic metal locker and you’ll probably picture something like The Skinny.
An instant classic, The Skinny is our signature locker and the one that started it all. Inspired by a vintage locker Becca found on the side of the road – peeling paint and all – The Skinny takes that retro school locker reference and brings it right into the 21st century. Sleek modern updates make The Skinny one of our most versatile, practical and iconic designs. It’s easy to build, takes up minimal floorspace, and makes a big visual impact in even the most neglected of corners.
Discover everything that makes The Skinny locker unique to Mustard Made.

The difference is in the detail
It’s the attention to detail that makes Mustard lockers stand out, and The Skinny doesn’t miss a beat. It’s easy to build (we promise) and the only tool you’ll need is a Phillips head screwdriver. The rest simply slots together. We design all our lockers in-house and you’ll find considered details throughout.
What's inside:
- A removable, matching hanging rail with the same finish as your locker
- Four adjustable shelves
- Two handy hooks
- One cable hole
- Two wall attachment points
- Powder-coated steel in our 12 iconic colours
On the outside:
- Subtle embossed Mustard logo so you know it’s the real deal
- Classic air vents
- A handle
- Magnetic doors that stay closed even without locking
- A lockable door with custom medallion keyring
Plus, the whole locker is smooth, matte and magnetic.
Dimensions + measurements
How does The Skinny compare? It's the same width and depth as The Shorty but the same height as The Twinny. All that height gives you maximum storage for minimal floor space.
Height 183 cm / 72 in
Width 35 cm / 13.8 in
Depth 46 cm / 18.1 in
Accessorise + organise
If you’re using your Skinny as wardrobe space, a coat rack or to store uniforms or sports gear, The Hangers are the perfect finishing touch. Made of the same powder-coated steel as our lockers, they’re a match – unless you prefer to mix things up, of course. With top and clip Hangers available in all our colours, the choice is yours. The Skinny is surprisingly deep, so it fits adult hangers (and clothes) nicely.
Getting organised? The Baskets are a Skinny’s best friend, ideal for grouping all those little bits and pieces like socks, craft supplies, papers and books. They come in a trio (one large and two small) and are designed to fit perfectly inside, on top of and underneath all of our lockers.
How to use The Skinny locker
It’s a classic for good reason. The Skinny truly is one of the most versatile locker styles, genuinely useful through all kinds of contexts.
We’ve seen The Skinny used for uniform storage, cleaning supplies and pantry storage. It also makes a lovely linen cupboard, and has perfect dimensions for storing your vacuum cleaner and broom, or your tennis racquets, or your modem and office supplies. You’d be surprised at just how many Skinnys we’ve seen used to store pet wardrobes – it’s a thing – and craft cabinets and, well, the options really are endless.
A wall of lockers
The Skinny is proof that more is more. It’s a standout all on its own, but in a duo, trio, or even a whole wall, The Skinny is a total statement piece.
