Nautical bags are all the rage this season, but few have the authentic maritime air of the Ella Vickers handbags. Her coastal bags are actually made from reclaimed yacht sails!
The use of the recycled fabric is more than just a gimmick. The marine-grade canvas won’t fade in the sunlight, or grow mold and mildew. It’s also water resistant, so you can happily carry this tote to the pool or in an April shower.
Ms Vickers was inspired to create these innovative bags while working as first mate on an America’s Cup winning fleet. Her first batch of sail bags was snapped up by her boat-loving friends, and so a company was born.
Ella Vickers bags are available in a range of styles, from small cocktail purses to functional day totes. You can buy the bags from Ella Vickers online store, or send the designer your used sails in exchange for a complimentary purse!
