Handmade in Maine from Recycled Sails
In June 2024, Vhagar came to life in the form of a 270-foot canvas installation perched on the spire of the Empire State Building to launch season 2 of House of the Dragon. After her visit to one of the most sustainable buildings in the world, Vhagar made the journey to Portland, Maine to be recycled into tote bags. In collaboration with the Empire State Building and Max, we've transformed the Vhagar installation into a limited-edition collection, giving a second life to the canvas that once hung overlooking New York City.
As seen in the HBO Original series House of the Dragon, Vhagar is known as the "Queen of All Dragons." Named after a god of Old Valyria, Vhagar was ridden by Queen Visenya Targaryen during Aegon's Conquest of Westeros, and later claimed by Aemond Targaryen. As the largest living dragon at the time of the "Dance of the Dragons," she played a crucial role in Team Green's fight for the Iron Throne.
Vhagar was constructed from over 18,000 square feet of canvas, secured to the spire of the Empire State Building to promote the premiere of Season 2 of "House of the Dragon." When it came time to take down the installation, the Empire State Building and Max sought out a partner to ensure the materials would not go to waste.
The Empire State Building has always symbolized technology and ambition, and today, the building is a world leader in sustainability, operating on 100% renewable wind power since 2011 and aiming for net zero carbon emissions by 2030, making Sea Bags a natural partner for this endeavor.
Journeying to NYC, the Sea Bags Crew brought Vhagar back to our workshop in Maine to begin her second life. As the chosen sustainability partner for this collaboration, Sea Bags is honored to handmake limited edition totes that fans of House of the Dragon will cherish long after the season has ended.
In addition to the sustainable, recycled material being used for the tote, the Empire State Building, Max, and Sea Bags wanted each tote to make a difference.
Ocean Conservancy, an organization that creates evidence-based solutions for a healthy ocean, wildlife, and communities that depend on it, has been chosen as the beneficiary of this collection with $50 from each tote sold directly supporting their mission.
