If you received your issue of Better Homes & Gardens last week, check us out on page 40! The article explains that blue is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. “Nautical blues express simple truths: honor, strength, purity – what we’re all looking for this year.”
The magazine features our Custom House Gull tote - a new addition to our website. It can be purchased for $145.
July’s issue of Marie Claire features a feel-good fashion page, which includes our Wine Tote! We’re in good company with other great summer finds to make your vacation one to remember. It features a TO – FROM label at the back to record the names of all the gifters and giftees on its way around the globe, eventually begging the question, “Where has your wine bag been?!”
Marie Claire says, “Reduce your carbon footprint with eco-friendly Cape Cod style: It’s how Jackie O would hit the Vineyard today.”
Our Wine Tote can be purchased through our website for $29. It also makes a great hostess gift!
Have you received your June issue of Body + Soul yet? Flip to page 37 and you’ll find the Angela Adams Bird Tote by Sea Bags!
This medium tote is of course constructed of recycled sails, but it’s designed by our Portland neighbor, Angela Adams. The bird design is made of recycled shoe leather and, unlike our other totes, it features a secure metal clasp closure so you can insure that your goodies stay inside. The tote can be purchased on the Angela Adams website.
Everyone is getting ready for the warm weather, which means it’s beach season! Sea Bags are the perfect totes to carry to the beach because not only are they water resistant, but they hold a ton of stuff! And the long rope handles make it comfortable and easy to carry.
The May issue of Essence Magzine includes the Red Star Large Tote from Sea Bags… “Carry Your Sun Essentials in a Cool Tote.” This tote can be purchased from our website for $145. Other sizes and colors are available as well.
Thank you Essence!

As we mentioned last week, this coming Thursday marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. That means that all this week we’ll be featuring things we’ve done for the environment and what we’ve recycled over the years.
For those of you who might be new fans of ours, you may not have heard Beth’s interview with Josh Dorfman, host of the national talk radio show The Lazy Environmentalist, a few years back. Beth talks about Sea Bags, the causes we support, and what it means to you when you purchase our products.
Visit the Radio Link to listen in.
As the weather begins to get warmer our Sea Bags are at the top of everyone’s lists!
The April issue of Coastal Living (page 30) featured an Angela Adams design by Sea Bags in their “Coastal Style Essentials.” Anchors are a big hit this year! You can order the Angela Adams tote through the Angela Adams website, and make sure to check our site for our latest anchor styles as well.
The Huffington Post also featured Sea Bags as one of their Top 5 Totes for Spring! They loved our new “Knot Tote,” which was featured in raspberry but also is available in green, blue, orange, indigo, gold, and silver.
We’re adding more totes and accessories to our site as we begin to plan for the upcoming season. Make sure to check back in with us for updates.
Haitians still have a pressing need for food and shelter as they recover from the massive earthquake that struck in January. We’re partnering with others in the Maine sailing community to collect used sails to be shipped to Haiti to be used as makeshift shelters. The rainy season is quickly approaching in the Carribbean, so the faster we can get our used sails to Haiti, the better off the 770,000 homeless will be.
Donate your used sails to us by March 21st and you will in turn be supporting this effort. We”ll give you a Sea Bag in return as our thanks. Our address: 25 Custom House Wharf, Portland, ME.
Check out the recent press coverage about the Sails for Haiti efforts:

We are so excited to be included in the March issue of Marie Claire (page 74 to be exact)! Our bag that is featured is the “Coffee Bag”, made from what else but recycled coffee bean bags. It’s lined with recycled dacron sail (we had to get sailcloth in there of course) and it’s detailed with recycled Maine shoe leather and hemp rope handles.
You can purchase the Coffee Bag from the Sea Bags website for $80. Thanks for including us, Marie Claire!
