Seassence is a Mallorca-made slow fashion brand that transforms retired boat sails into durable, one-of-a-kind bags and accessories. The project is rooted in circular design: instead of letting heavy, high-performance sailcloth go to waste, Seassence gives it a new life through thoughtful pattern-making, careful stitching, and small-batch craftsmanship.
Founded by Mallorcan designer Mar Carbonell, the brand began after discovering how many old sails were sitting unused across the island. Working with a single, unusually large sail (over 300 kg), she experimented with the material until it became the basis of a signature collection. Each piece is cut from a different section of sailcloth, meaning every bag is naturally unique in markings, texture, and character.
What you can buy
The online shop focuses on practical, everyday pieces designed for coastal living and urban use, including the Wic Bag (195 €) and the Small Wic Bag (175 €), as well as cases and backpacks (from 65 €). Product details highlight nautical-inspired finishes such as zip closures, tonal stitching, and reinforced handles. Many items are lined with recycled twill and include functional details like inner pockets.
Why it feels “conscious”
- Upcycled materials: outer fabric made from recycled boat sail.
- Recycled components: linings include recycled cotton and recycled plastic bottles (as stated on product pages).
- On-demand production: pieces are made to order to avoid overproduction; the team contacts you with an estimated delivery date after purchase.
- Local craft: meticulously handmade in Mallorca, supporting a closer-to-home supply chain.
If you want multiple items, Seassence invites customers to contact them directly (email or Instagram) for a 15% set discount, reinforcing the boutique, relationship-based approach behind the brand.
