After seven years sailing the world aboard a 39ft ketch, Emma Casey swapped the sea for a sewing machine and a leatherwork bench.

Reclaimed sails, otherwise fated to the landfill, have a story to tell.

Miles beneath the keel and weather endured are charted in the worn sections, stains, rips and chafe points of the fabric. Modern Dacron and carbon fiber sails are incredibly lightweight, strong and water resistant.

  • The Materials

    Locally-sourced retired sails are given a second wind as Landfall bags instead of heading to the landfill.

  • The Maker

    Emma Casey traded the sea for a sewing machine after spending seven years sailing the world aboard a 39ft ketch.

  • the workshop

    Each Landfall bag is handcrafted in the heart of Sausalito, California’s historic working waterfront in a salty, quirky workshop at the end of a pier.

  • The perfect bag for my trips to the grocery. No more floppy, hard to fill canvas bags for me! This sturdy sailcloth bag holds plenty and can carry a lot of weight.

  • Beautiful, clean, construction. Very lovely and thoughtful packaging. This was a gift for the sailor in my life and it was very well received!

  • I’ve had a few different recycled sail bags over the years and this bag has surpassed both with quality, design and aesthetics. I love the zip top, size of bag and especially the color combo of white sail, green leather and black straps. It’s gorgeous and I get so many compliments!

  • Love my Large Dopp Kit! As a cyclist who commutes into San Francisco regularly from Mill Valley, it's exactly what I need to store my toiletries. The attention to detail on the Kit is also remarkable and I can already tell this will be a lifetime purchase for me.

  • I love this bag. It is lightweight and lets the light shine through so I can see what’s in there! Also I know that if it gets dirty I can clean it. Amazing!

  • This crossbody bag has become my favorite everyday bag. It's compact size defies what it can hold. Small and mighty! The quality, craftsmanship, and style of this bag will be a keeper for me!
