Custom Bags: Alternative Style

December 16, 2011 2:46:52 PM EST

Many of the racing sail are made with carbon or kevlar for strength. Some of the sail we recycle are these types of sail. They are not the traditional white that you see so commonly on our website. Below are three custom orders that use these alternative sails - We love the "pops" of color. What do you think? kevlar tote kevlar tote

Custom Bags: Rap or Wrap?

November 18, 2011 10:49:38 AM EST

You can wear a wrap or a scarf. You can eat a wrap or a sandwich. You can rap or sing a song. At Sea Bags, we sometimes wrap the designs around the bag.

Custom Bags: The Dog Days of Summer

Custom Sea Bags show an individual's unique taste. We get requests for everything from latitude & longitude coordinates, to island shapes, to names, etc. With a fall chill in the air, we thought it would be appropriate to "relive" the Dog Days of Summer!

Your Design Here

This week I placed my first order for a “Build Your Own Tote.” I get to work on most of the custom orders, which is fun & challenging. As I went to place my order, I was a deer in the headlights. I drew a blank. I was an artist standing in front of a blank canvas with paint and no ideas. I was a writer with writer’s block. I had all the obvious questions in my head, “Will she like it?” “Will this be the coolest design I could come up with?” “Will she know it is a Sea Bag?”  Build Your Own Tote

I turned to my boss, Beth, for advice. She had great advice and steered me in the right direction. But, I still couldn’t sit down and design it myself. I turned to one of our seasoned designers, Jess. She was able to take my ideas, which hardly came out of my mouth clearly, and make it into something that made sense.

I realized how difficult it is for our customers to come up with a unique idea, communicate the idea in words, and feel like a part of the process. I also have a new appreciation for customers at home waiting for their tote to arrive. The anticipation is killing me!

Reading Between the Lines

April 29, 2011 2:45:27 PM EDT

No one is denying Stripes are a humongous fashion trend this year.  The linear momentum keeps building to new heights, with no signs of slowing down.  Stripes are very impactful, classic, sporty and a bit masculine in feeling.  A trend this aggressive, and of this magnitude, is no doubt going to influence all areas of style. 

Stripping has added personality and a fresh modern twist with powerful lines and colors combinations.  At the forefront of this craze there was a strong varsity and nautical stripe influence. These popular classics continue, but now fashion designers are manipulating these traditional styles.  Creating their own looks by offering stripes in a multitude of shapes, colors, widths and designs. 

Stripe infatuation is occurring on so many different levels, clearly making this trend a simple and ideal look for just about everyone! That said - I would be lying if I told you I had an undeniable love for these stylish striations. I have a tendency to struggled with the masculine nature of stripes and that is NOT to say I dislike them at all.  I am just extremely picky and cautious when it comes to selecting the right stripe.  Stripes are personal to me, some are incredible and others just don’t do the body any favors.  To tastefully pull off stripping I would suggest that LESS is more.  Dresses, tops, accessories best represent this look and are easily integrated with other piece in your wardrobe. Pairing stripe with solids also helps brake up the silhouette and adds interest. My favorite look is a classic two-color stripe background with a solid pop color(s) shapes on top.  This approach really helps to achieve depth and, is a more appealing sophisticated stripe composition.
