Can I have a main sail more masculine?

Can I have different handles? more longer? different colors of knots?shoulder strap?

The measures can be changed?

Can i have logo and any customizations?

A tall ship smaller?

There are other models?

Why you not published all models and variants?

Even to the last question we would answer “Yes“, depending on the availability of fast internet we will try to update the site more frequently.

But you continue to ask .

The hypnotic bad weather, which magnifies the sense of hearing.

The sun and the crisp air which awaken stores of energy…and you never get tired of doing.

Producing without getting gloomy, always loving what you do.

The good mood and a sense of peace during a sailing.

Rocking in a quiet bay.

The routine of a known port.

Anxiety about breakage which you try to repair with despair.

The disbelief that I’ve actually made it.

Pedaling to find a bit of land to see.

Cutting, coloring, dyeing, sewing, waxing, knotting.

The satisfaction of seeing our bags change boats.

Our floating laboratory? Our search for happiness.

The color, that bright or dull, intense or faded, practically a  state of mind, dye gives life to material.

There is no place which I visit that doesn’t tickle my fancy. I always wonder what they used to dye and if there is someone who still uses these techniques.

Jack fruit, pomegranate, madder, tea, henna, or Brazilian Redwood, it is always so enjoyable to perform such an artistic act, full of color and patience.

Rossella has certainly added a splash of color to our trip!

The Dinghy will make it easier for you to land. You can put what you need inside and go wherever you want.

Its made entirely by hand using sturdy canvas, known as Olona, according to the ancient techniques of sailors on board.

The Dinghy is dyed with black tea and treated with oil and natural hard resins.

The painting gives each bag strong protection from the neglect it must endure over the course of its life.

This process is applied to a finished, stitched bag which is left to dry in the sun for several days.

This treatment gives a pleasant feel to canvas baked by the sun.

The banana fiber rope is crafted by Filipino artisans.

Like all bags in this series, The Dinghy has red buds for good luck, made from rose knots.

The logo and any customizations are hand drawn with faded blue ink.

Dinghy measurements: height 36 cm diameter 29 cm

Des Pawson is one of the world’s leading authorities on knots and sailors’ ropework.

A passion for the knots he has cultivated from childhood.

Des is cofounder of IGKT, awarded by Queen Elizabeth for the research and dissemination of knots.

He lives in Ispwich, East Anglia, a lovely town with typical British order. Red brick house, small lawn and garden in the back.

Right here, in the fascinating quiet of his garden, Des has a small but specialized museum.

It is almost touching when he shows us a few inches of string dating back to 1545, belonging to the Mary Rose, or the first edition of “The Big Book of Knots ” with a dedication from the author, Ashley, to her personal hero.

In the days spent together we have seen and learned a lot and there is much left in my heart.

Before returning home we decide to visit a couple of places in London and Greenwich. The cold, and maybe the smoke from the coal fired home furnaces, sent flames in my throat and gave me a fever. We could not help but observe the comings and goings of Haredi from the window of Goldengreen pension.

This bag is characterized by 6 distinctive ropes, known as reef point, that are used to secure the part of the sail which allows for navigation even in the strongest of winds.

The Main Sail is made entirely by hand using sturdy canvas, known as Olona, according to the ancient techniques of sailors on board.

Dyed with indigo, and black tea, The Main Sail is then coated with a mix of protective resins and waxes which allow this bag to lead an unruly life.

The paint is applied over a stitched bag and left to dry in the sun for several days.

These methods improve the brightness and flexibility of the bag, giving a pleasant feeling to the touch which is very similar to soft leather.

A large bag, which bears the name of sailing ships with high masts…The Tall Ship.

Jack Fruit dye gives the bag a pale yellow color. The Tall Ship is protected by a thin mix of resins and waxes that allow the contents to breathe, while also preventing the contents from getting wet.

The paint is applied over a stitched bag and left to dry in the sun for several days.

This treatment gives the bag the authentic  feel of weathered canvas.

The clear hemp rope is handcrafted by artisans from Naples.

The bandolier according to tradition was inspired by the cat o ‘nine tails which  is attached to the bag’s buttonhole with the splices. The handle can also easily attach and detach to the star knots positioned at the bottom of the bag.

Like all bags in this series, The Tall Ship has red buds for good luck made from rose knots.

The logo and any customizations are hand drawn with faded blue ink.

Tall Ship measurements: height 89 cm, diameter 40 cm
