Fashion Friday: Skirting the Issue

March 19, 2011 7:13:16 AM EDT

Season after season, "The Dress" has been at the top in the fashion world. However "The Skirt" has been nudging its way back to life, by becoming exceedingly more prevalent on the runways and in stores. Numerous skirts began quietly popping up last spring. The Mini, Full Mini, and Pleated Mini where just the beginning of what would eventually turn out to be a returning trend.

This past fall mini skirts still held there ground but some hemlines began dropping to the knee.  Designers created a fuller tulip like shape  and fitted high-waist versions. Now that we are on the brink of spring, designers continued there voyage south with the addition of The Midi - not to be confused with The Mini. The Midi is a couple of inches above the ankle. The Long Maxi skirt is also increasing in popularity. Though The Midi and Maxi are the newest to graze the runways and fashion magazines you are still going to see may different variations and silhouettes. As far as The Dress is concerned, it is still important, but just no longer the only act in town. With all these different hemlines to choose from, the selection is more diverse then ever. There certainly is a skirt for every buddy and every body.

Summer Fun at the Sea Bags Workshop

August 2, 2010 7:51:47 PM EDT

We love to do fun things at our workshop on the wharf and recently Sea Bags hosted a booksigning for Linda Greenlaw. It was fun to move the machines back and have a crowd in here. We had a cast of characters that was anything but a normal booksigning. Linda had 2 marriage proposals, signed a baseball, and even received a hand-made pirate doll.

We also met a family that came from California just to see where Sea Bags are made. Food & Wine recently called our shop a “museum” for our designs and the crowd that evening was able to see it up close and personal. We love that and hope people will find their way down our wharf for an event or even just to say hi.

Don’t forget you can buy Linda’s new book, “SeaWorthy,” and our new Sword Tote for a special price $150 through our website.

The picture above is of Linda with Sonia and Alicia. Alicia is sporting the Stephanie Harmon for Sea Bags dress out of recycled sails.
