the tiny tote

The bag you’ll reach for every day

Distinctive, upcycled bags with a story to tell.

Handcrafted in Sausalito, California from 100% upcycled boat sails

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.
