Recycled Mainsail Sacks

Shanti Yoga Mat Totes Harness the Winds of Tranquility for Practical Use

— January 8, 2013 — Eco
In the spirit of respect for nature, these Shanti yoga mat carriers have been manufactured from recycled materials. Precisely, the totes are stitched up segments of sailboat sails, designed to hold rolled up pilates pads and a few other bits and pieces.

The fibrous and polyester sailcloths are collected in a variety of colors, shaping cylindrical sacks with external pockets for meditation and exercising accessories. Designer Dana Hortick selected easy metal snap buttons for the Defy Bags and an adjustable strap of 1-inch webbing attached to the bottom and the top of each. A Shanti yoga mat bag can be comfortably worn across the chest or over one shoulder, bringing an effortlessness to your journey to the yoga studio and a breezy bit of eco-friendly style.
