Sail Away



My Ella Vickers Zip Tote has become my go to bag for work, for the gym and for walking around NYC. This is my one bag that I know is light but is also durable and easy to throw over my shoulder. All of the Ella Vickers bags and accessories are made from recycled sailcloth. The founder, Ella Vickers, was aboard the sailing yacht Columbia {the first 12-meter to win the America's Cup} when her idea was born. When the sails on Columbia were replaced, Ella recycled the old ones into bags.

Rope Tote

Excursion Duffle 

Toiletry Kit

There are so many different bag styles that all can be purchased online or in their Greenwich, CT store. The bags are great for all ages and they are not just for girls and women. The duffles are great for men as well as the garment bags and shower curtains. We got my dad a duffle for Christmas 2 years ago customized with his U.S. Sailing Team numbers and he loves it.

Wine Bag

Costa Yoga Bag

In addition to her original bags, Ella also produces other fun and useful items such as the Sailcloth Wine Bag and the Costa Yoga Bag. All of the products are extremely well-made and hold up against wear and tear. I have had my bag for over 2 years now and it is still in great condition. I highly recommend any of the Ella Vickers collection from personal experience. The toiletry kit is next on my purchase list!

  3. I love Ms. Vickers' bags, I just wish they were slightly less expensive….but I suppose that makes getting one so much more special!
