Upright Sailcloth Shoulder Bag with Original Tell Tales
Original sailing details, given a completely new purpose.
Handmade in Dorset from genuine reclaimed white sailcloth, this upright shoulder bag proudly keeps some wonderful features from the sail's working life.
Across the lower section you'll find original white zig-zag stitching, while the upper part retains original sail tell tales with green cotton string – authentic details I've deliberately incorporated into the finished design.
Blue 38 cm handles and a matching blue top zip complement the white sailcloth, while silver D-rings on either side hold a detachable blue crossbody strap. Finished with silver hooks and an adjustable slider, the strap can be adjusted from approximately 72 cm to 137 cm.
Inside, the bag is fully lined in blue cotton and includes a zipped internal pocket for smaller essentials.
Carry it by the short handles or attach the longer strap for comfortable shoulder or crossbody wear – a practical everyday bag that still very clearly shows where it came from.
