Flashback to New Years Eve 2010... Auld Lang Syne is all set to play at the Arendell Room and the…read morewaitress has on a "crush-worthy" sequin little black dress. This LBD had major star power and made me do the unthinkable, "Excuse me. Where'd you get your dress? It's super cute." She unreservedly replies and points, "Oh, across the street at James like a few hours ago." I was taken aback that quite possibly the cutest little sequined number I'd ever seen hails from across the street. "Really!? Hrm...." Flash-forward four months to Easter weekend with some time to kill, I stop at James on a lazy, Saturday afternoon. I was immediately greeted by the 70% off rack and a chic but simple L. Space burnt orange bikini for $20! Score! As I browsed some more, the sticker shock set in as even on the 70% off rack I began seeing dresses for $60 or more. Whoa, I thought we were just casually browsing here... James specializes in high-end contemporary fashion with great, contemporary designers (and mostly American) like Black Halo, Hudson, Tart, and Ella Moss. Speaking of Black Halo, they had an ultra chic, sharply tailored Rouland Mouret-esque dress that was calling my name, except for the $340 price tag. I thought James is an incredible find, especially in Morehead City - all the fashions were unique and stylish, however just a bit overpriced. I know that's their typical price point (elsewhere) and there were several pieces I wanted but just wasn't prepared to drop $129 on a blouse or $200+ on a trendy one shouldered or drapey summery dress; maybe for a few key sought after wardrobe staples, but James isn't that kind of store in my opinion.

You see, we believe that sails soak up sun, salt, smiles and adventure. Of course we clean our sails before we make them into bags, our materials retain the essence of what they once were, where they've been and what they've done. It's this previous life that makes each bag unique. Our materials come from Maine first, New England second and USA third. We use one of the last remaining thread manufacturers in the U.S. and one of a few rope manufacturers in New England. And our sail supply chain? Well, that's as local as it gets. We collect our sails one at a time through a network of passionate boaters who love our community waters as much as we do. Our bags are designed and sewn in a building that hangs over the water. We're located on Custom House Wharf in the heart of Portland's working waterfront. It's an unconventional location to be sure. But we think the sound of seagulls and the smell of bait from the local lobster boats is an important part of the character of our bags.
