Tarini SB4

Our smaller everyday tote, handcrafted from repurposed sailcloth and rescued materials. Lightweight, durable, and completely one of a kind.

47cm x 36cm x 13cm
Handmade in Tasmania

Made from a sail salvaged from the INSV Tarini, a 56 foot Indian Navy Sailing Vessel.  Built in the Aquarius Shipyard in Goa, 2017 and famous for completing the “Navika Sagar Parikrama II” navigation with two female Indian Navy officers in 2024-25. This adventure served to highlight both women’s empowerment and India’s maritime capabilities.

The trip took 8 months and covered 43,000 kilometres.

The sail was torn in high winds off Fremantle, Western Australia during the circumnavigation. How it ended up in Tasmania is still a mystery?

The front of the bag features dark blue “patchwork” cotton sail fabric over a layer of textured white Dacron and a hand-cut silver vinyl star decal. Reverse is plain textured white Dacron.
