Ahoy matey! If you like the high-seas aesthetic and are looking to go back to school in eco-sailor style, then boy do we have the perfect tote bag for you! Breathing new life into old sailboat sails, the super cute AUM Shoulder Tote from Branch transforms a distinctive yet very durable material into a long-lasting, limited edition bag that retains the marks of its nautical origins. Handmade by Red Flag Design in Vancouver, these AUM bags are cut from recycled sailcloth that would otherwise be discarded. Because of the designed durability of this sail material, the bags are super sturdy. The best part of course, is that each unique, hand-made tote bag has a rich history which can be traced through the marks on the bag. The AUM Shoulder Tote is a unique chronicle of voyages past, and a perfect companion for new adventures to come.

$198 from Branch
