Upcycling is in ♻️

Ahoy matey. Wanna know a staggering static? 97% of sails from boats end up in landfills. Wild right? Like something that you would never think about. Like there’s no way you opened this email thinking you would learn that. But listen, if you ever end up Jeopardy and that’s the winning question, I’m expecting an e-transfer.

It’s no secret, we throw out a lot of stuff. In a day, each Canadian produces 2.33 kg of waste on average. Wild eh? My personal philosophy? Invest your money in quality products— the more local the better.

Dayshaped is doing just that. They turn retired sails into heirloom-quality pieces that celebrate their days spent on the water - and the patina of a life well lived. Each bag is thoughtfully designed to preserve the unique character of the sail that came before it. Crafted with care in Canada.

News flash bucko, up-cycling is in ♻️

Ice Bucket Beverage Bag 🧊

This lightweight cooler bag made from reclaimed sail is ready for anything you throw at it - or in it. Fill it with ice and enjoy your favourite beverage at the ready, whether you’re popping bubbles or cracking beers.

Every Dayshaped bag is a unique reflection of the sail it’s made from. We embrace each sail’s one-of-a-kind details - the numbers, stitching, hardware and telltales - and the patina that tells the story of its former life on water.

This week on the Fireside podcast I sat down with Anela Dujsic, founder of ⁠Dayshaped⁠.

During our conversation we spoke about spending time on the water, and how Anela saves sails from landfills and transforms them into heirloom-quality bags for all occasions.
