See-Worthy Sea Bags

I’m always on the prowl for original, quality products that are handmade in the United States. Sea Bags of Maine offers an eye-catching collection of bags fashioned out of recycled sail cloth that are truly one-of-a-kind. Featured, are two bags that are both special in their own way.

A Sophisticated Take on Sail Cloth

The Tan Chebeague Weekender was inspired by Chebeague Island, an island located along Maine’s coast. Handcrafted out of sturdy recycled sail cloth, this handsome weekender bag is accented with antique brass hardware. This is the type of bag that gets better looking with age because the waxed canvas exterior develops a rich-looking patina with wear and frequent use. This spacious bag, designed with three external pockets for storing travel necessities, is the perfect size to take to the beach or to pack and take along with you on a weekend getaway.

Limited-Edition Vintage Treasures

Sea Bags handcrafts vintage sail cloth totes that are only available as long as the supply lasts. One thing is certain – you are not going to see your vintage Sea Bag in every port. Sea Bags recycled original sails bearing authentic sail insignia to create this Vintage Blue 467 Large Tote. Hand-spliced rope was used to make the handle. The rugged sail cloth used to manufacture this bag is durable and easy care—simply spot clean and line dry. Sea Bag’s vintage totes are truly special and make a great gift to give to anyone who loves sailing, vintage collectables, nautical-themed, or sustainable, recycled stylish accessories.
