Awesome bags and reasonable prices. This is the store that a lot of the bags are cut and sewn. They only carry discounted and less than perfect bags here. Some of the designs are funky and out of wack but they offer a 20% discount.

Love this company. I've got several of their bags and wristlets. My most recent bag, a Custom Courier Bag. They did a phenomenal job designing and making this bag. Highly recommend.

I ordered a Custom Chebeague Duffel as a gift to my sister in law for graduating and thought it would be helpful for babysitting with the arrival of my newborn. The quality of the material and craftsmanship is top notch, BUT IT WAS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MADE ME A LIFE LONG CUSTOMER. It was more than a year after giving it as a gift, I was told it ripped by the strap after a use of only 5-6 times. Looking at it, the strap and stitching held, the sail itself ripped. I was saddened to hear as it was such a unique and stunning bag. I didn’t think it would work but I spoke to customer service and explained my situation. They apologized for the situation, explained that normally don’t pay for shipping for anything that was purchased over a year but paid for it anyways. They also wanted to save the bag if they could, but if not, would make a new one for me. Now I am patiently waiting for my new bag to give back and wanted to let everyone know, this company CARES. Also, shout out to the customer service manager Sierra Gridley, thank you thank you thank you!

EDIT: after leaving this initial review, Paul was very attentive in helping to solve the problem for my customer with the defective wristlet. He made the situation right and I appreciate the effort and amended my review and rating to reflect that. I am a retailer who carries their products in my shop. A customer bought one of their wristlets for Christmas and had it for two weeks before one of the grommets fell off. I advised the customer to contact Sea Bags directly to see if they could repair it as this is clearly a defective item, she has emailed them numerous times as have I in a wholesale portal which I can see that they read my messages and still will not respond to any of our messages.

Late summer I ordered a large tote bag as a wedding gift for my son and fiancé who were getting married in November. The liner was to be the guestbook where 140 invited guests would write their well wishes. 2020 being what it has been left the wedding in doubt and the guests sidelined. With the liner waiting in my dining room to bring to a reception with maybe 20 people, I sent out an email to the friends and family to send me their messages that I would write on the guestbook /liner to surprise Jonathan and Alice. As the emails came in, I began writing with the supplied laundry markers, all the beautiful messages their friends were sending. On the day of the wedding, the guestbook was completed with the 18 immediate family in attendance. When Jonathan and Alice saw all the messages they were moved to tears. I took the liner home, mailed it back to Seabags asking if they would mail the finished tote directly to Jonathan and Alice. It arrived yesterday and they were overwhelmed with how beautiful it is. Jonathan said “It is like a piece of art, I don’t think we could take it to the beach or put anything in it, we just want to look at how beautiful and special this is.” Everyone at Seabags treats the customer like a personal friend. From the first day I called to ask how the wedding tote worked to returning it with long messages, all done within the lines, they were so helpful and caring. Every single person I told about this thought it was the coolest idea! There are so many bags and ideas you could lose yourself in creativity. Thank you everyone at Seabags for making such an awesome memory for Jonathan and Alice.

One of the highlights of my trip! Intelligently designed bags with loads of variety to suit every style. I was amazed by their service as they noticed what I liked and helped me find one of a kind pieces from the back and on their excellent web site. They even suggested and showed me a style that perfectly matched what I was wishing for! With them making the bags on site you can see how they are made plus get pockets or clasps added in no time.

Visiting this store was a real treasure for my wife and me. Completely unexpected. Great products made of of recycled sails. Everything was so well thought out, and the real treasure to us was the fact that everything is made in the premises! Products are not imported from China like so many other stores. Also the person we spoke with gave us a great lunch idea which made for a perfect day for us. This store is a must-see, and take your time and look around and look in the back where all of the products are made 🌞

I can't say enough about this company!! But my multiple purchases speak for themselves. I have ordered from Amazon & directly from their online site. Any issues were resolved above and beyond expectations. Included in the photos are my purchases up to date. Also, add on features and some specifics about them. The clasp and interior zip pockets are optional but I always purchase them because they add convenience to the bag. The interior zipper pocket is of perfect size and holds essentials for easy access, in my case two pill bottles that I have to carry with me at all times. The clasp is easy to utilize. Also, each tote bag has a built-in pocket for cell phones which is a lifesaver for me because it's easy to access and I'm not constantly searching for it in my bag. The wristlets are great for easy access items like cash, bank cards lip stick and during this pandemic, a mask. The Crossbody is another one of my faves for hiking, short trips, or even long ones. I can put my essentials in it, throw it in my tote and use it when I don't want to carry my tote into places. Aside from all of the above features these bags is easy maintenance. You can spot clean or even throw them in the washer and hang them to dry. This Company has teamed up with Life is Good, another one of my favorite places to shop, and has an exclusive line for them. They are involved in Charities and at the moment are sponsoring the Dempsey Foundation, which provides ultimate care for cancer patients and their families. By raising $5000 you receive an exclusive, signed bag by the Founder, Patrick Dempsey formerly know as "McDreamy" on the long running and popular series, Greys Anatomy. To show how great Customer Service is, I provided a photo that was taken by Kathryn Flynn from her office view. She shared this with me to brighten my day through an email. She has treated me like a friend, not just a customer, and at that time I had made only one purchase. How many retailers do that?? I admire what this company is doing and stands for. I especially am intrigued with owning a bag that has weathered the Seas. I am far away from an Ocean but I can pack a part of it with me all the time. The quality of these bags far outweigh the price tag and I highly recommend Sea Bags of Maine and anything they sell. These repurposed sails will continue to Sail On for a lifetime.

One of my favorite shops in Portland. An excellent spot to pick up a special souvenirs, gift or treat for yourself. Bags & home goods made right at the shop from recycled sails, they also carry products from other nautically themed companies. Below are pictures of some of my favorite seabags!

Reagan Vadell

How cool I this place? What a fantastic and unique vision carried out. There were so many cute and unique designs. Got a small bag as a souvenir of my time in Portland.

annie harper

This is an exceptional store--from concept to the finished product--recycled sails into beautiful, useful bags. We had three sails we replaced and didn't want to throw away as more land fill and didn't have the venue to sell them. Seabags takes your used sails and makes them useful again. We accepted one sea bag in exchange for the three we donated. They use the donations to help fund a sailing school. We're proud of our bag and grateful to this store for such a good idea and a great quality product. I encourage anyone with old sails to contact this company, you'll be happy you did! Thanks again Seabags!

Denise Gamester

So many to choose from! They even will sew a zipper bag into it. Next will be either the octopus or the lobster next. Great idea to repurpose sails!

Olin Thodal

Ordered a custom bag as a Christmas Gift. Ann was extremely helpful and has such a great personality. She was able to get me the design I wanted and make the process easy. I was told it could take a while to have a drawing made for me to approve, and I received it after 2 days. Goes to show the rest of the team at Seabag are just as great as Ann! Keep up the great work!

Jon Sundberg

Despite the obvious growth of Sea Bags as they expand into different markets with their popular line of unique bags, I was utterly delighted with the individual service I received. True to Maine values, they guided me through the process of custom crafting a one-of-a-kind pair of bags commemorating my former sailboat with the same kind of attention as if I were working one-on-one with the craftsman themselves. Thanks for keeping it real Sea Bags! I’ll proudly recommend this iconic Maine business to anyone.

Nick Stein

I tried to place an order on-line and had a hard time. Called the Old Port store to place the order instead and got Ann O. She was amazing!!!! Very Friendly & super helpful!!! Second time dealing with the Old Port location & I highly recommend it! My wife loves the bags & the sales staff ( especially Ann) are great to work with!

Cindy C Chesney

We went to the Portland Maine store yesterday.( aka Flagship Store ) This place is amazing! Kelly, one of the staff waited on us. She explained the different merchandise, how it was made. (You can look over the pony wall and see them creating each bag. She was extremely helpful, knowlegdable, and told us that we could have our purchases shipped. Each bag is unique no two are the same. There's so many to chose from everything is made right there. They also have recycled trap lines from lobster that have made into door mats, There's a large selection of colors. Both the Sea Bags and the lobster mats have been featured on the DIY channel's Maine Cabin Masters show. Everything in the shop is made in the USA much of it made in Maine. There's many things to enjoy in there. Definitely take the time to go here! It's well worth it!

Seabags has 10/10 customer service, but Ann goes above and beyond that. She is enthusiastic and passionate about the product and makes sure her customers get EXACTLY what they want. Seabag’s products are high quality and their staff are so friendly- I’ve been purchasing their products for years and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon!

Kate Robinson

The bags sold by this company are recycled sails from sailboats—what a novel idea! As a result, they withstand all kinds of weather! I bought the bucket bag to use as a lunch bag and it’s perfect. (There isn’t insulation for keeping lunches cold, I use for transporting.) this would make a perfect gift bag and can be used to store things afterward and adds a sailing vibe to your decor. It’s a conversation piece for sure as everyone asks me about my bag! The larger totes are on my to-get list. The bags are expensive, yet you won’t likely need to replace one ever. They’ve got prints and plain white and even holiday options. Extremely unique, versatile, and high quality! Splurge—you won’t regret it! Rather, you’ll treasure you Seabag always!

Chip Haver

This was a unique shop and they recycle old sails into purses, bags, etc Very informative staff. Bought a beverage bag...unique

Michelle Allen

Just wanted to send a HUGE thank you to you and everyone else that helped to make the perfect diaper bag!!! I bought it as a gift for my daughter and son in law who are expecting their first baby. Not only is the bag a perfect reflection of their pups but it was ready for the baby shower!! We also appreciate the awesome customer service we received from Leigh at the Freeport store, she goes above and beyond every time I go to the store and certainly was a huge help with this customer bag! Thank you all for such great service and the perfect diaper bag!! Michelle L

Joan Galbraith

Such a cool upcycle. Will carry these for years I'm sure.

RJ Broudo

Purchased the PERFECT bag as a gift over the weekend - the gift was LOVED and Daniel, the manager of the Newburyport store, was fantastic in all ways. We even returned to the store to thank him for his friendliness and service.

Brooks

You can see the bags being made on site in the store. They also have a good selection in various sizes and colors to choose from.

Jim Devon

Ann was amazing! Not only did she find EXACTLY what my wife was looking for, but genuinely cared about making her happy!! So glad she was there today and we love Sea Bags!!!

H. P

Absolutely love these bags and to have a piece of a sail made into a bag is great. Amazing job at working on designs and styles. I am so glad that they are now doing a program for rewards.

Crystal Bridge

I bought my first bag in December of 2017, it needed a little repair in May and I couldn’t have gotten any better service than I did. They were spectacular, I was going to be without my bag for 2 weeks due to the shipping out and in of repairs... happily they were able to repair the tiny issue in store and I got the bag back the next day! I’ll buy again for sure!!!

Anthony Boody

Great place! Never knew it was there before, but glad I know now. Ann the cashier/seabags historian taught me so much about the company. Learned a lot from her, so thank you Ann! I will go back again for gifts for people.

Brian Anderson

Love my sea bag, what an awesome modern solution for the classic Maine boat bag. The recycled sail makes for a heavy duty, water resistant bag. We got a big one so it zips shut and has heavy duty plastic nautical zippers and a secret inside, so pocket for stuff like your keys, phone and wallet.

Lisa Hedberg

Excellent experience. When you deal with friendly people who don't push a sale it makes all the difference. They added a pocket and clasp to my bag in minutes..I love my new bag!

L Roberts

Wonderful service and products. I've ordered three times from them online including one custom duffel bag which could not have turned out any better. Highly recommended.

Hua Hsuan Wang

We went to Maine in September and bought a dog leash in the store, thought I lost it and called Kelley, and she was very nice and texted me a picture of the leashes that's available in the store, I was able to have my leash replaced under 3 mins, since the leash wasn't available online, I love the leash so much I would pay shipping to NY

Brandon Hepler

Very neat store on the waterfront with views of the factory space where they take the sails and turn them into bags. A little too pricey for my budget but very nice looking bags, bracelets, etc.

Barbara Finlay

I love this place. I bought one of the brags made from recycled sails. Prices are high, but it will last a long time, and the bags are wonderful.

Michael Moses

All bags are made from recycled sails. But all buyers are made from recycled wallets. These bags are pricey ($150+) for what amounts to just a cool beach bag.

Rachel Poth

Amazing. These bags are so amazing. If you think you dont need one, you do. If you think you'll only use it for a few months, you're wrong. If the cost seems high, it's not. Think long term. ROI is key here.

Ashley

20% off the amazing product and the original Sea Bags on the wharf!

Ana Short

Beautiful bags made from sails in a variety of colors, patterns and sizes. Very expensive

Donna Amado

Love, love, love my new Scorpio bag!

Rosanne Yates

Pricy but unique bags. Each is different due to handmade nature of product and methods used for printing. Nice.

Jason Burke

Staff was awesome (Especially Ann), selection was fantastic, and highly recommend stopping by if your in the market versus shopping on line
