Fashion Friday: Seasonless Styles

February 4, 2011 12:03:30 PM EST

A trend that is popping up all over the map is the idea of seasonless fashions. Everyone is tired of switching over his or her closet from season to season. Following any sort of "fashion rules" seems mundane or old. Men, women, and children of all ages are looking for more sustainable clothing and accessories. And no one has the time or money to spare on one season trends.  They are looking for simple versatility and longevity.

Winter white, floral dresses, sheer flowy tops, shorts, sundresses with tights are examples of seasonless fashion… need I say more? The most practical and simplest way to embrace this new approach on style is by picking up a few new accessories.

A great investment piece for anyone is a quality handbag. I never knew the importance of a great handbag until I left college and could afford one (sorta).  But those same bags that I had to scrounge for in my 20s are still with me now and have more than paid off!

From Around the Shop

January 26, 2011 2:11:59 PM EST

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.Ship's Wheel and Pillow

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?

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?
