Chebeague Island Maine at sunset

Inspired by theISLANDS OF MAINE

Off the coast of Southern Maine, accessible only by boat, sits Chebeague Island, a place that still has the air of old New England.

Home to year-round fishermen, summer cottages, an inn, and even a century-old 9-hole golf course, Chebeague Island embodies the slower pace of life so many of us desire.

Inspired by the unspoiled and charming coastal character of Chebeague, we endeavored to create a travel collection that embodied practicality, durability, and style reflective of the residents of our muse isle.

Every Chebeague Travel Bag starts in our Maine workshop with our signature recycled sail material.

Each piece of sail cloth is carefully handpicked and cut to highlight the original stitching and character marks inherent in sun-soaked sails that give all Sea Bags their coveted individuality.

Materials used in making the Chebeague collection including canvas, brass fittings and leather handles

Then, we select bolts of boldly colored, New England-Made canvas for the bottoms of the collection, adding further durability to our already resilient totes and bags. Finished with premium trimmings like leather straps and handles and in some cases, brass zippers, our Chebeague Collection is truly an ode to the coast we call home.

How do you pronounce "Chebeague"?

If you ask the islanders—or anyone in the know—it's "sha-big," but most people pronounce it "sha-beeg." Either way, it's a true Maine name with a proud island heritage.

Chebeague Duffel


The perfect gym or overnight bag, the Duffel packs away when not in use, but expands to a full-size duffel bag.
