Meet the Maker

Made in Dorset, Inspired by the Coast. 

​

Hi, I'm Silke and I make every Salt Sand Sunshine bag by hand from my Dorset workshop using reclaimed sailcloth and rescued fabrics.

large sail with yellow circle in the middle and blue numbers and letter K 307 on grass in a garden.

Why Sailcloth?

Every sail has a story.

​

Once powered by wind and waves, these sails are carefully cleaned and transformed into one-of-a-kind bags and accessories in Dorset.

​

Original stitching, markings and signs of adventure make each piece completely unique.

Lovely words from my lovely customers

Every bag has a story — and thankfully, some of their new owners have been kind enough to tell me what happened next:

Fabulous service, and your product is lovely.

A Big thank you for your wonderful sail bag, and your quick communication regarding style and colours.
It arrived on time and I will be giving my friend her present today.
I will forward your website to her, as know she will be ordering from you, as she is obsessed with sailing and your use of recycling is a perfect fit.

Great size and exactly what I need for an upcoming holiday. It’s really well designed being big enough for towels and beach items with good length straps to make it easy to carry. The old sail motif decorates it perfectly. 

Silkes items are really well priced and I would throughly recommend you check out her products and website 😊
