About

Sea Bags is a brand that specializes in creating bags and accessories handmade from recycled sail cloth. They are known for their durable and high-quality products, such as totes, travel bags, and home goods. Sea Bags is committed to sustainability and supporting causes that align with their values, and all of their products are made in the USA -- specifically on the working waterfront of Maine.


Sea Bags was founded in 1999, and to-date has helped keep more than 1.5 million pounds of sails out of landfills. Sea Bags was founded on 3 pillars: creating jobs, being green in product and practice, and giving back to its community. Today, Sea Bags has 50 retail stores from Maine down to Florida and across the U.S. along the Great Lakes and as far west as California.

Founding Story

Sea Bags started as a local business selling bags on Portland, Maine's Custom House Wharf in 1999. Sea Bags was incorporated in 2006, which is also when the brand started selling via e-commerce and to a few gift shops wholesale. In 2008, Sea Bags opened its second retail store. Today, Sea Bags has 50 stores from New England to Florida to the Great Lakes! Everything is still hand made in Maine.
