Before we begin cutting, we first remove any reusable hardware, ropes, and battens. Weathered metal hardware, such as hanks, often find a second life as bag accessories or keychains. High-quality ropes are set aside for special projects or repurposed throughout our facility—serving as pallet straps, clotheslines for drying the washed sails, or securing fixtures in our transport van.
On our cutting floor, artisans meticulously trace and cut panels for our bags by hand. Even the smallest pieces left over after this process don't go to waste. These remnants are sorted once again and sent to our die-cutting team, where they are transformed into smaller products such as wine bags, wristlets, and buckets.
