Sea Bags: Musings from Maine

We love to do fun things at our workshop on the wharf and recently Sea Bags hosted a booksigning for Linda Greenlaw. It was fun to move the machines back and have a crowd in here. We had a cast of characters that was anything but a normal booksigning. Linda had 2 marriage proposals, signed a baseball, and even received a hand-made pirate doll.

We also met a family that came from California just to see where Sea Bags are made. Food & Wine recently called our shop a “museum” for our designs and the crowd that evening was able to see it up close and personal.  We love that and hope people will find their way down our wharf for an event or even just to say hi.

Don’t forget you can buy Linda’s new book, “SeaWorthy,” and our new Sword Tote for a special price $150 through our website.

Meet Alaina Harris, one of our amazing kitters and designers of our tote bags made of recycled sail. “Lane” is currently finishing an art and entrepreneurship degree at the University of Southern Maine and designs and screen prints her own T-shirts. Alaina’s most memorable experience was her high school adventure living in Thailand for one semester. When asked what she’d like to be stranded on a remote island with, she answered her journal, bible, sketchbook, and most importantly, her best friends. We are lucky to have Alaina as part of our Sea Bags team!
