Sails that sailed

bags that go anywhere

Handcrafted  tote bags made from reclaimed sailcloth, giving retired sails a new life on land.

Every sail has a story

No two bags are exactly alike.

Every piece of reclaimed sailcloth carries evidence of where it has been – the seams, numbers, graphics, weathering and colors of a sail that once caught the wind. We keep those details visible whenever we can, because they’re what make each bag special.
