I joined Sea Bags in late summer/early fall as the marketing manager. I have learned a lot in the last few months about our products and the business. I am still amazed at the designs on our bags – they are classic, bold & beautiful.
As I looked around my office and out my window, I realized that Custom House Wharf is full of inspiration. How could we not make great bags? Our shop is in an old building that is a bit “settled” and sometimes not as square and straight as it used to be. We have a lot of artifacts in our shop, including: an old, wooden ships wheel, miscellaneous sail hardware, ropes, an old rusty sign hanging on the wall and of course lots of sails to be recycled. Looking out the window I see lobster boats, lobster traps, sea gulls and snow on the docks.
We are lucky to be part of the working waterfront in Portland. Inspiration is all around us to make great bags. If you take a minute to look around, you might be surprised what you see. What inspires you?
