RUGGED ENOUGH FOR A BOAT REFINED ENOUGH FOR A DINNER DATE
Individually crafted from rescued vinyl and British waxed cotton.
Finally—a gorgeous bag that can actually handle all your crapola.
Rescued Materials. Responsible Style.
I source my vinyl from local boat upholsterers, taking their high-quality off-cuts and turning them into handbags before they can reach the landfill. It’s my way of fulfilling the “Re-use” part of the eco-conscious loop.
The Yooneeyak Promise:
- Individually Made: One maker, one machine, one bag at a time.
- Local Sourcing: Rescued from South Coast boat yards.
- Zero Waste: Turning “trash” into your new favourite accessory.
Need something smaller? If you feel you already have enough bags (said NO ONE EVER, but anyway…), you might find a home for my “Ouch Pouches.”
This gorgeous handbag is crafted from rescued boat vinyl and lined with premium dry waxed cotton from Merchant and Mills. It’s durable, water-resistant, and—honestly—just the right size for all your bits and bobs.
Whether you’re headed to work, out for lunch, or hopping on a boat, these bags are built to keep up. I make every bag one at a time, inspired by the clean lines of sails and the shifting colours of the ocean. I use my own white and red bag every single day—it’s easily my favourite piece.

All of my bags in my shop can be adapted to you so if you want another zipped pocket that’s no problem? A longer strap? No problem. Message me and we can talk it through. Check out this commission I made for a lovely customer.
