April 27 2022 - 04:48PM
Sea Bags, the Maine-based designer and maker of bags, totes and
accessories all made from recycled sail cloth, today announced its
first-ever collaboration with leading American bag and luggage
company and iconic lifestyle brand Vera Bradley for summer 2022.
The Sea Bags + Vera Bradley Floral and Stripe Collection features a
seaside garden captured in all its summer glory on four
limited-edition Sea Bags product styles – a Medium Tote, Beverage
Bucket Bag, Cosmetic Bag and a Slim Crossbody Bag – and is
available now in select Sea Bags retail stores, in select Vera
Bradley locations and online both at seabags.com and
verabradley.com.
The two brands collaborated to create the Sea Bags + Vera
Bradley exclusive Floral and Stripe Collection, which combines a
cheerful multi-floral pattern customers know and love from Vera
Bradley over a classic deep navy and white breton stripe that fans
identify and admire from Sea Bags. The Floral and Stripe Collection
is intentionally crafted with a shared commitment to
sustainability, and all products are handmade and printed on
recycled sail cloth that is durable and washable.
“It's a thrill to collaborate with Vera Bradley; their designs
are so iconic. This collection truly is the best of both brands:
playful, art-forward and of course, at its core, sustainable,” said
Beth Greenlaw, Co-Founder and Chief Sustainability Officer of Sea
Bags.
“Vera Bradley is proud to partner with Sea Bags on the
limited-edition Sea Bags + Vera Bradley Floral and Stripe
Collection,” noted Daren Hull, Vera Bradley Brand President. “Vera
Bradley and Sea Bags share a commitment to sustainability, and both
of our brands were founded by entrepreneurial women. The synergies
between our brands shine through in this collection, from the
meticulously handcrafted construction to the fun, optimistic
print.”
The collection includes the following items: a Medium Tote,
$180, that features hemp handles and is lined with Vera Bradley’s
ReActive Bloom Boom floral fabric lining, which is made from
recycled water bottles; a Beverage Bucket, $75, with six interior
pockets sized to hold your favorite beverage; a Slim and Crossbody
Bag, $75, for everyday, on-the-go wear; and a large Cosmetic Bag,
$45, also lined with Vera Bradley’s ReActive Bloom Boom floral
fabric lining.
The collection will be available online at www.seabags.com,
