Sea Bags Handbag — Giveaway-A-Day 12/8


Find the winner for yesterday's Giveaway at the bottom of this post.
____________


So excited for today's Giveaway! It's a total Friday kind of prize. Get your comments in quick and keep your fingers crossed, because today's winner gets the MEDIUM RED STAR BAG FROM SEA BAGS!!!




I originally came upon these bags in an issue of Lucky and I posted about them here. I think they are so beautiful. I love the textures. I love the colors. I love the cropped elements. I love that they were really sails and really saw the sun and the sea.

Think of it as a very cool custom handbag because Sea Bags are generally made to order when you place your order. You can even note the length of handles you prefer. The mini is the perfect day to day bag. The small is what you want if you're going for diaper bag size. The medium makes an ideal gym bag. Save the large for your weekend getaway.

Eecause each one is made from actual decommissioned sails, I love that they all feel one-of-a-kind:






The medium size will be so great when you want to throw in everything you need as you head to beach. Or use it as a grocery bag. Or use it as awesome storage for the Duplos in the kid's room. Or buy a house in the Hamptons and take it sailing. No doubt you'll find a dozen ways to use this handsome and super-cool bag.

Thank you, Sea Bags!

This is one of those "why didn't I think of that" things. Well, it could be because I don't have many left over sails laying around, or any, actaully.
