Handmade in Maine from Recycled Sails
Tanbark Octopus Slim Crossbody Bag
We're very excited to bring back tanbark bags. We find very few of these used sails, and it has taken over five years to gather a supply of tanbark large enough to create a new collection. This colorful little bag has an equally colorful story. In the days when only natural materials were available to make sails, sail makers would dip sails in a tanning solution made from tree bark. The process helped protect them from the environment and, as a by-product, stained the sails a distinctive red-brown color. This dramatic bag features an artful illustration of one of the most mysterious creatures of the sea. Slim in design, this bag will help you with hands-free mobility and nautical style. Printed on recycled sail cloth. Please note: slight variations in color may exist due to the rarity of tanbark sail.
