Sails for sale in Corfu

Supported By: Corfu

A haven for salty sailors and water babies, the island of Corfu is an enticing Ionian oasis to explore from the water. Sherbet coloured harbours and rustic fishing villages provide an idyllic spot for a lavish seafood lunch, and a coastline adorned with hidden coves, gilded beaches and sleepy bays makes for an excellent setting to unfurl your sails.

The seafaring island has found a unique way to upcycle sails, kits and parachutes with Salty Bag, an initiative which uses the durable material to create ultra-low impact, circular-economy bags designed to last a lifetime.

Designed to withstand battering winds out on the oceans, sailcloth is an extremely resilient material making it an ideal fabric for rucksacks, shopping bags, holdalls and duffel bags. Salty Bag also uses the retired sails for fun accessories like placemats and envelopes.

And there is no sailing into the sunset at Salty Bags. To ensure a circular economy, the brand asks their customers to return their bags when they no longer want them, to transform into new, shiny products for someone else to enjoy. This way the sails live forever.
