An Ode toRugged Mariners

Inspired by a centuries-old maritime tradition and cut from exceedingly rare sails, the Heritage Tanbark Crossbody honors the sailors who handmade rugged tanbark sails to withstand harsh conditions. Only 50 individually numbered totes were made, each including a certificate of authenticity.

At Sea Bags, Recycled & Sustainable are not afterthoughts—they are the cornerstones of our brand.

Made in the USA. Our materials are sourced as close to home as possible: Maine first, New England next, and USA—stopping there. We cut, assemble, and hand stitch our products right here on the coast of Maine, so you can be confident any purchase you make supports keeping manufacturing jobs in the USA.

Recycled Materials. All totes and accessories are made from 100% recycled content from recovered sails and sail cloth material. Since 1999, we have diverted over 1.5 million pounds of unusable or retired sail cloth from landfills.

Grounded in Community. A mainstay of the Sea Bags mission has been supporting causes that align with our sustainable, community-centric values. It's an honor to have partnered with and supported so many fantastic organizations making an impact in our local communities both in Maine and in the home ports of our 50 retail stores.
