Sea Bags are unique, eco-friendly, sustainable and the best-made beach bag I have ever owned! Made in Maine USA, each bag is crafted and handmade out of recycled sailcloth.

Each bag or accessory is nautical themed and I dare you NOT to find one you will love!

  • Super sad to say goodbye to my awesome #KiaSorento aka Phoenix today! It’s only fitting that it snowed on the day of her departure. She’s gotten us through a horrible, annoying winter safely. I will miss her heated seats and heated steering wheel, not to mention killer stereo. This is the best car I have ever driven and I can’t wait until I can get one of my own for keeps. Our family will definitely miss her, especially the dogs. #kiamom #kiafamily #kiapartner #wewillmissyou
