Handcrafted Eco-Friendly Lifestyle Products from Recycled Sails
Established in 2015, Sails & Canvas is a Devon-based enterprise dedicated to transforming retired sails into unique, nautically inspired lifestyle products. Our founders, Juliette Johnson and Mandi Wilkinson, combine childhood friendship with a shared passion for sustainability to create handcrafted bags, home accessories, and bespoke items. Each product retains the character of its sailing heritage, reflecting our commitment to reducing waste through innovative recycling. Our team of artisan seamstresses meticulously selects and repurposes sailcloth, ensuring every item tells a story of adventure and environmental responsibility.We collaborate with local suppliers and support initiatives like the RNLI, reinforcing our dedication to community and ecological stewardship. With global recognition for diverting hundreds of sails from landfill annually, we continue to pioneer sustainable design while maintaining marine-grade quality and timeless aesthetics.
