ROUND FLOWER POT - BATYLINE FABRIC - BRICK RED - BACSAC®
An ultra-light, flexible, and portable pot, ideal for all types of crops on your balcony, terrace, in your garden, and of course indoors.
Made of Batyline fabric, traditionally used in architecture or for crafting outdoor furniture, the BACSAC® recreates open-ground conditions and supports the growth of your plants, letting the soil breathe and excess water drain away. Ultra-resistant, it is designed to last.
Originally created to facilitate and encourage urban gardening, the classic round pot is the must-have BACSAC® model; its handles make it easy to move your plants, even in the most hard-to-reach places. Offered here in 3 sizes, it supports the growth of your plants, from seed to tree.
Unfold, fill with soil, and plant! (For indoor use, place a saucer under the pot)

BACSAC®, born in Paris in 2008, is a French company that creates flexible plant containers and gardening tools.
While nature is the source of BACSAC®'s inspiration, the city is their favorite playground. Lack of access to open ground, contaminated soil, weight and space constraints: a BACSAC® is a patch of land on the pavement.
BACSAC®'s ambition is to offer a relevant, practical, and sustainable solution to the multiple challenges posed by reintroducing nature into cities and to address all spatial configurations: from the smallest balcony to large-scale landscaping projects.
Just unfold it and fill it with soil!
A layer of clay pebbles is not necessary for drainage, but is useful for creating a natural water reservoir.
Your BACSAC® is washable and foldable if you wish to store it.
CARE TIPS:
Through contact with soil and outdoor life, traces of moss or limescale may appear on the fabric. To clean them, it couldn't be simpler:
1. Scrape surface deposits with a knife blade
2. Scrub the marks using a stiff brush dipped in a mixture of hot water and white vinegar
3. Rinse the fabric with clear water
Very effective for moss but less so for limescale, the fabric can also be cleaned with a high-pressure jet.
Once emptied of its soil, your BACSAC is also machine washable at 30°C.
PRINCIPLE: In a traditional pot, roots grow in a spiral along the wall, which can create a root ball that weakens the plant, especially in extreme temperatures. In a BACSAC®, the root system is denser and more balanced. When the root reaches the textile wall, its growth stops upon contact with the air, and the plant develops new roots. The roots thus seek out nutrients throughout the entire surface of the soil ball, promoting harmonious plant growth.
TECHNIQUE: Designed for direct contact with soil, the BACSAC® is a container made of a double wall: an inner geotextile felt that contains and protects the roots, combined with an outer fabric that is ultra-resistant to tearing, abrasion, and temperature variations.
PERMEABLE: The technical distinctive feature of the BACSAC® is its permeability, which maintains the necessary balance between air, soil, and water, thus approximating open-ground conditions. Indeed, it must be permeable to allow the soil and roots to breathe and for excess water to drain/evaporate. Plants cannot thrive in an airtight container without air or drainage. To protect your floors, place a saucer underneath.
DURABLE: With a lifespan of 7 to 10 years, the BACSAC® is a long-lasting product. It does not break, deform, or fade. The materials it is made of are designed to be in contact with soil and to withstand outdoor conditions, even extreme ones, throughout the year. Its fibers are entirely recyclable.
VERSATILE: Offering significant depth and soil capacity, the BACSAC® is suitable for all types of crops, whether vegetable or ornamental. Its multiple shapes and sizes allow it to adapt to different outdoor space configurations.
LIGHTWEIGHT AND FLEXIBLE: The BACSAC® was designed to be portable and easy to move. Its lightness allows it to circumvent potential weight constraints when installed on a balcony or terrace. Flexible, it takes its shape from the soil; it is therefore non-injurious and suitable for everyone, from children to adults.
PRACTICAL: Simply unfold it and fill it with soil! A layer of clay pebbles is not necessary for drainage but is useful for creating a natural water reservoir. Your BACSAC® is washable (see our care instructions below) and foldable if you wish to store it.
"THE CITY IS A GARDEN, LET US CULTIVATE ITS EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY."
BACSAC® was born in Paris in 2008 from an inspired meeting between a designer passionate about nature, Godefroy de Virieu, and two landscape architects committed to bringing nature back to the city, Virgile Desurmont and Louis de Fleurieu.
Together, they dreamed of a freer nature in the city, unburdened by weight and space constraints, and set out to find an alternative to the traditional range of pots that would address the challenges posed by setting up a patch of nature.
They invented a new type of geotextile container—flexible, lightweight, and nomadic. The idea of planting in bags stems from this desire to change habits, highlight what should be—the plant—and return to the simple principle of containing soil to cultivate it. A fabric to which they gave forms and uses, allowing the city to be cultivated in its every nook and cranny. Aesthetic, intelligent, and easy-to-use objects, at the border between design and landscaping.
Since then, the roots of BACSAC® have branched out to sneak onto windowsills, balconies, terraces, and gardens in many cities around the world, facilitating access to soil in response to asphalt.
BACSAC® is a human-sized company guided by a family spirit and open to the world.
All models are designed in the BACSAC® Parisian studio, the fabrics come from French and Italian suppliers, and manufacturing is carried out by their long-standing partner in Romania.
