There are some cool fashion and home decor products made from recycled sailcloth. Here are just a few personal faves:

• Designer Ella Vickers makes an entire line of bags and hats (photo at top) and home accessories, such as shower curtains and dog beds (photo above), from recycled sails. You can choose whether you want a ‘pre’ or ‘post’ consumer sail each time you buy. You can even send in a sail to be repurposed. Find @ ellavickers.com.

• While recycled sailcloth bags are becoming a little easier to come by, there seems to be only one company that makes recycled sailcloth coasters. These coasters (photo above) are made in Maine and come in sets of four with either a navy anchor or a red claw sewn on to them. The coaster sets are $24.00. Matching place mats are sold separately. find @ thenewenglandtradingcompany.com.

• Whether you’re integrating a nautical theme into your home decor, you’ve got a thing for boats, or you’re simply looking for a conversation piece, a pillow made from a recycled sail is a fun eco friendly purchase – you’ll find the ones pictured above online at Pottery Barn. Currently on sale for $49.99, half off the original price.

• A novel upcycled sailcloth-based item is a sailcloth yoga mat bag. Each is one of a kind, handmade and comes in a number of different colors. They run about $180 each on Etsy.
