A person who has set sail onto the sea would know how important a sail is for his ship. He would also know the importance of the material used in its construction, which is usually light in weight and can sustain any weather condition be it rain, heat, hail or storm. The durability of the bag prevents the need to regularly dispose your bags and buy a new one.

Designers Matthias Hülsebus and Edzard Kramer for Klein & More have utilized this unique and exquisite material in making bags, thereby making this world a little greener.

Imagine a bag that survived the sea. The sail used on the ship has been given a second life as a bag. Each of the bags is hand-made and therefore, none of the bags can feature a repetitive design. This canvas designer product is water resistant for obvious reasons.

To add to the desirability factor is a striking design featuring a random number in blue or red, several partitions to compartmentalize your belongings, a separate pocket for storing your mobile and a special layer to add strength to the base, thereby avoiding wear and tear.

For those who fancy the life on sea, these bags are not uniformly colored and come with an extra strap and additional padding. Measuring 19"W x 8.5"D x 12"H, these bags can be washed at up to 30º C and cost up to $240.
