Ella Vickers for Lands End Tote

Ella Vickers for Lands End ToteKeen sailor and accessories designer Ella Vickers has joined forces with American lifestyle brand Lands’ End to create an exclusive tote and duffel bag. The accessories’ nautical looks shouldn’t surprise anyone familiar with Vickers’ work; they’re made from recycled sailcloth!

The fabric choice is undeniably green, but that’s not its only appeal. The canvas material is made to withstand sea conditions, so it’s very tough. It’s also resistant to mildew, water, and sun damage. That makes this tote and duffel a perfect choice for a day at the beach or a coastal picnic. The sailcloth offcuts are paired with a durable Cordura nylon base and corrosion-free marine-grade zippers. Both bags feature sail numbers “81” inked in Lands’ End’s signature blue.

The collaboration between Lands’ End and Ella Vickers makes perfect sense. Ella Vickers began to admire sailcloth after serving as first mate on an America’s Cup winning fleet, and her design career followed. Lands’ End was also founded by a sailor, and its nautical heritage plays a big part in its current identity.

The limited edition Ella Vickers tote and duffel bags are available exclusively through the Lands’ End website. The open-top tote costs $100 while the duffel is a bit pricier at $180.
