Countdown to Cure Bags!

September 24, 2010 11:22:55 AM EDT

Only 1 week until Sea Bags is launches its 4th Annual Cure Bags campaign to raise money for Cancer research with the sale of our Pink Ribbon Bags!

This year, we’re offering our Pink Ribbon Bags in Small, Medium, and Large totes, all hand crafted from recycled sails at our Portland shop on the working waterfront.

At Sea Bags, one of our core values is giving back to the community, which is why the Cure Bags campaign holds a special place for us. We donate 50% of the sales from these Pink Ribbon Bags to the Maine Cancer Foundation and the donation goes to research for the cure.

These fashionable and highly sought after Pink Ribbon bags are available for sale from 10/1/2010 to 12/31/2010 and can be found at www.seabags.com. They retail for small ($100), medium ($125), large ($150). Supplies are limited, but wait lists are available!

Customer Stories from the Sea Bags Freeport Store

August 25, 2010 11:12:10 AM EDT

Sea Bags FreeportWhile it’s a pretty wet and dreary day here in Freeport today, the weather didn’t keep this old salt from visiting the Sea Bags store. Our newest friend, and her captain, sail their 36 Pearson up from Padanaram Harbor, MA each summer and have been visiting the coast of Maine with their 13 year-old black lab, Max, for the last 13 years. She had heard about the Sea Bags store in her hometown (we love how news spreads like that). She decided to come check out the place where we would eventually turn their old sails one day into something useful that also helps the environment as well. As much as they love the beautiful state of Maine, she loves her new Sea Bag that tells her retirement story equally as much.

What’s your dream job?

June 16, 2010 7:54:54 PM EDT

Oprah recently did a show on dream jobs. We want to know what your dream job is? I was lucky to spend the day with a French film crew doing a documentary on Maine. They clearly were doing their dream jobs–the quite famous host, Girard Klein was full of personality showing their viewers in France cool things about Our State. Every angle and shot was thought provoking. We shot my friend Kate, who owns Black Dinah Chocolatiers. Kate and her husband, Steve have built a great gourmet chocolate business living on the island they love to call home. We shot the Inn at Isle au Haut2 where Diana has used her amazing decorating and culinary talent to create a quaint Inn. I left a great Corporate Career to do Sea Bags with my business partner, Hannah. I was inspired by my sister, Linda whose dream job is to swordfish. I’m lucky to get to create a company where we work with amazing talent and we recycle beautiful sails into great, functional and sometimes funky totes. We give back to causes we believe in. I live in a gorgeous place, get to travel to great places, and love the people I work with from our team, to our customers and our vendors. Yep, its a dream job. What’s yours?
