Whitecaps Marine Outfitters
now offering the Ella Vickers Recycled Sailcloth
Collection
Whitecaps Marine Outfitters are proud to be able to carry a wide selection
of the Ella Vickers bags and accessories from the Recycled Sailcloth Collection.
The Ella Vickers handcrafted bags and accessories are made from tough recycled sailcloth
from a number of sources. The
pre-consumer materials come from sail-makers offcuts so they have not had a
sea-trial while the post-consumer bags are made from retired sails. Either type, the Ella Vickers Recycled Sailcloth
Collection puts new life into previously discarded material. Your bag may have been to places you have
only dreamed of.
From the very beginnings, the attention to detail and purposeful construction
started before the first prototype was sewn.
The first bags were made from the sails of the successful defender of
the 1958 America’s Cup – Columbia,
the first to win under the 12 meter rules beating British yacht – Sceptre in a straight 4 – 0 series win. Later, Ella Vickers was first mate on Columbia where the idea to reuse the
sails came during one off-season as the sails were being replaced.
Constructed
in the USA with marine-grade components which create eye-catching accessories
that are both fashionable and ocean-durable, the bags are able to withstand the wind,
salt and spray that comes with a boating lifestyle. There are a selection of bags for hauling
gear as well as stylish handbags for everyday use around town. The water resistant materials are perfect
around the water and the Recycled Sailcloth Collection even has a great
amenities bag for when you are visiting an exotic port.
In addition to the standard designs, most Ella Vickers bags and accessories
can be customized with your team or company logo, boat name, sail number or
anything else you can imagine.
