Are you looking for a sturdy tote that doesn't look like it came from a catalog? Tread lightly on the earth and keep the wind at your back with a recycled sailcloth tote from Sea Bags. Since 1999, the company has turned old sails into custom bags.
Each bag has a cotton rope handle hand-spliced at the shop in Portland, Maine. There are three sizes, including a limited edition Pink Ribbon bag -- 50% of the $125 purchase price goes to the Maine Cancer Foundation. If you happen have a used sail lying around, Sea Bags will gladly trade you a bag for your castaway -- or if you don't need a bag, the company will make a donation to a children's sailing school in your honor.
