Returns & Exchanges

Guaranteed. You have our word.

At Sea Bags, we believe that each tote bag and accessory we produce is as unique as the recycled sail it was cut from. We carefully cut each sail to preserve the distinguishing characteristics of the sail's previous life on the water. We stand behind all our products, so if you are not 100% satisfied with a product purchased from the Sea Bags website or retail stores, you may return it within 60 Days of purchase for a refund.

Statement on Defective Products

Sea Bags are made from recycled sail materials, which means that no two bags are alike, and signs of hard sailing may be present. Characteristics such as original sail stitching, grommets, rust marks, tell-tales, or other signs of the sail's previous life on the water are the sign of authentic Sea Bags!

With that said, if you receive a product that you believe is defective or damaged, please contact us immediately.
