OUR JANUARY WHITE SALE SAIL!
The new year is off to a bright and chilly start. We see the return of the puffy coat and fur lined parkas out of our window to Bow Street in Freeport. Children gather at the bus stop surrounded by billowing clouds of their own breath. It is the type of weather that once you are inside a house and you realize that you have forgotten something in the car, there is a moment or two of self-searching and weighing just how badly you need that item, given the effort and breath-stealing chill involved in retrieving it. We become a lot more organized with our trips to the car, or anywhere outside, this time of year.
Freeport has returned to its winter self. It is quiet. Jingle bells and the clopping of the horse drawn carriage no longer competes with the street noise. Given that we are an outdoor shopping mecca, shoppers now stay bundled up and walk briskly usually with their coffee cups held close to their bodies for attempted warmth.
Even though January has been traditionally the time for White Sales developed as a boring tactic to keep linen makers in business during this slow time of year, here at Sea Bag’s we are the unofficial home of the White Sail and there is nothing boring about it!
Stepping into the Sea Bags store is an instant reminder of warmth and fun. Against the white of recycled Dacron, our designs are as robust as they are functional. A red star medium tote carried on the shoulder of a bright green puffy coat -or leopard print carcoat - is just as refreshing now as it was a few months ago, and just as stylish as it will be on a cotton sleeve this summer.
We enjoyed a busy holiday season. Countless Sea Bags are now debuting as part of the new January White Sail. Each bag holds its own unique character based a commitment to reusable resources and with a distinguished nautical flair.
What Sea Bag do you carry during the winter?
