Abbie — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:24:16 +0000

Ella Vickers started her line of recycled sailcloth bags by making herself a set of bags from a discarded sail. These bags were so popular that people bought them right off of her arm, and a demand for her products began. Not only is her collection crisp and sophisticated, it is also eco-friendly, made of hi-performance Kevlar sailcloth. The designs earned her instant success, and soon she was selling totes, duffels, messenger bags, handbags, and more!

One of the basic top sellers is the Excursion Recycled Sailcloth Medium Duffel. This duffel has 5” zippered compartments on each end of the bag and another pouch pocket on the other end. This allows you to keep your wet things and dry things completely separate, or to allow you easier access to things you need regularly. This bag is ocean durable, and it is lined with waterproof vinyl and sturdy, bound Marine grade seams.

Ella Vickers even makes a Captain’s Recycled Sailcloth Briefcase. This bag is perfect for keeping your laptop, important papers, and personals organized and, of course, dry! This bag has a removable laptop sleeve, an adjustable shoulder strap (which can be adjusted and worn across the body), and two large pockets in front and back.

From increased food and gas prices to additional fees from the airlines, it’s even more important these days to watch what you spend when traveling. Even worse, airlines are starting to crack down on carry-on bag sizes and weights. This can mean your old and trusted travel bag may need to be checked during your next flight, adding up to more cost for you. What you need is a new bag.

But being able to replace your luggage is expensive, right? And all travel duffle bags are plain, aren’t they? Not necessarily. There are plenty of affordable travel duffle bags and luggage pieces out there and many are actually pretty stylish (no more boring black bags). Check out a few examples of some travel duffels under $60 that meet carry-on requirements - all with more style than your average black sports bag.
