Handmade in Maine from Recycled Sails
One mainstay of Sea Bags' mission is to partner with our community to make positive, lasting, and local impact. Our community impact is realized through several avenues including custom items to support fundraising and awareness, in-kind product donations, and event sponsorships. Sea Bags totes, bags, and accessories are handcrafted from recycled sailcloth and finished with American-made rope and thread to create sustainably sourced, coveted items that will be cherished for years.
Custom Fundraising Tools & Incentives
If you're looking to provide fundraising incentives or donor gifts, Sea Bags is ready to help you meet your goals. Sea Bags products are sustainably crafted from recycled sailcloth and built to last a lifetime, so you can be confident that you're more than just raising money; you're providing supporters with a bag, tote, or accessory they'll use and appreciate.
Sea Bags has a long history of helping nonprofits and fundraising events of all sizes develop a custom program to achieve their development and stewardship goals. While our most popular requests are for Large and Medium sized totes, we can work with you to identify the best products for your needs. We'd love to partner with you to make a meaningful impact in your community.
At Maine Cancer Foundation we understand the added value our Sea Bags partnership brings to signature events such as Tri for a Cure. For 15 years, we've worked together to create unique incentives, as these offerings provide reliable motivation for fundraisers. Additionally, the growth of Sea Bags, and their collaboration with other Maine brands, has allowed us to be innovative – continuously generating new excitement among our participants."

"Maine Public was looking for a high quality thank-you gift to use as an incentive for our audience to donate; the fact that Sea Bags is a Maine-based, environmentally friendly company made them the perfect partner. Over several years, we've worked with the Sea Bags design team to create a unique product only available to our audience and it has been an incredible success: since 2019 Sea Bags has helped us raise over a half million dollars in donations. The staff at Sea Bags are easy to work with and our donors love these bags! We're looking forward to future successful campaign seasons with Sea Bags."
