Where does Marie Kondo get her boxes from?

The boxes Marie Kondo developed for her KonMari method of tidying are called Hikidashi Boxes and you can get the real deal sets of boxes from the official KonMari online store. Fun bit of trivia: “hikidashi” is the Japanese word for “drawer.” So Hikidashi Boxes literally means drawer boxes. Wow!

What do Marie Kondo’s paper boxes even do?

Isn’t a drawer itself a big box? What do these boxes within boxes even do?! They do… this!

They keep things separated, preventing them from getting all tangled together and impossible to easily use. Segmenting your belongings is a great way to see what you have and it’ll let you more easily determine what you don’t need.

Convinced? Will some Hikidashi Boxes save your life? Now you know where to get some!


UPDATE: Here’s some more info on the availability of Marie Kondo’s KonMari boxes, direct from the source!

Marie Kondo’s love of boxes inspired her to create a limited edition collection – the Hikidashi Box Set – which was available to purchase via her website last year but has since sold out. Stay tuned for future product updates from Marie’s brand, KonMari!
