Ella Vickers Recycled Sailcloth Collection is not only the oldest in the industry, but also the most refined & best quality built on the market. All pieces in the collection are made from authentic recycled/reclaimed yacht sails, are eco-friendly, have a low carbon footprint, are water resistant, of marine grade quality and are ocean durable. Every item is handcrafted in the USA using yacht sails from around the world, saving 20 thousand yards of sailcloth from the landfills each year. In 1989, designer and founder Ella Vickers’ voyage to the creation of EVSC began aboard the sailing yacht Columbia, the first 12-meter vessel to win the Americas Cup. As first mate she was inspired by the incredible power in the multiple sets of sails that have taken the yacht to many victories. One off-season, when Columbia had her sails replaced, Vickers recycled the old ones into bags and the Ella Vickers Recycled Sailcloth Collection was born. The durable and sophisticated designs reflect the nautical lifestyle with crisp white Dacron Sailcloth and high-performance Kevlar Sailcloth. This gorgeous, urban-chic collection ranges from the small cocktail purse to the functional tote messenger, dog beds, pillows, wine bags, and the ocean durable duffel. The flagship store is located in Greenwich, Connecticut, the design studio is in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina and the factory is in Brooklyn, New York.
