Get some awesome on for Dad (Father's day is around the corner!) with these stylish recycled sail cloth wallets and bags from Carried Away Team Mates, mother and daughter Susan and Meredith of Ragged Edge Gear in Clearwater, FL.

Each bag or wallet is constructed of rescued sail cloth, some containing carbon fiber for extreme wear and durability.
All of our items are made from some type of sailcloth. We originally got started on this project because we sail, and we got the idea to make ourselves bags out of old sails. And then everyone else started askin' us for some!
Sailcloth is a very unique material. Most of what we use is waterproof, all of it is quick drying and easy to clean, its lightweight, doesn't show dirt and doesn't absorb smells. Some of our own original bags are 10 years old and still kicking!!
Every time we go out to our studio workroom we look around at the all the color and get excited about the possibilities for new bags & new projects... It's a never ending whirlwind of fun and creativity!
We are a mother and daughter team that has decided to turn their creativity and their passion into their livelihood. RAGGEDedge started out as one of Susan’s wild hairs; one more way for her to use her sewing & design skills for an exciting new project. We started to sail, and she started to make bags for us out of used sails. By request, and by word of mouth, RAGGEDedge gained a following of people who wanted unique, colorful, one-of-a-kind gear. That “project” outgrew a closet, to take up half a room along with additional materials and products stored in the garage. Then there was the exciting purchase of RAGGEDedge’s first official industrial sewing machine. With that, the half a room became a whole room, and then a bigger room. We moved whole rooms around in the house to accommodate RAGGEDedge. As I write this, we are now working on RAGGEDedge full time (having quit our day jobs to speak) with an oversized two-car garage as a dedicated workroom. We delight in our smallness. To us, small means that we get to make what we want to, how we want to. New designs, new colors, and new projects are the lifeblood that we thrive on.
