Founded in 2022, the woman-owned-and-operated Salt Legacy has continued to make waves with one-of-a-kind bags made from upcycled marine sails. Its latest collection, made in collaboration with BC Ferries, is the West Coast Islander Tote collection. Each tote, made from sailcloth and spinnaker sail lining, features a label detailing the story of the sail used in its construction. This collection is featured on select BC Ferries routes from Swartz Bay all the way up to Haida Gwaii. The company is also preparing to expand into a larger facility from its current Rock Bay location.
Special thanks to Dale Gann for hosting us aboard the Sailing Esperanza.
