A storage bin for an interior compartment of a vehicle includes a support structure manufactured from a substantially rigid plastic material, and configured for attachment to a panel of the vehicle. An outer wall portion is manufactured from a substantially rigid plastic material. A flexible wall portion is manufactured from a flexible silicone material, and interconnects the support structure and the outer wall portion. The flexible wall portion includes a plurality of pleats, and is collapsible in an accordion motion between a collapsed position and an expanded position. When disposed in the collapsed position, the flexible wall portion supports the outer wall portion adjacent the panel. When disposed in the expanded position, the flexible wall portion supports the outer wall portion a lateral offset distance from the panel to define a storage compartment.
