Red Flag Design Sail Bag
Behold Red Flag Design:
Founded in Vancouver in 2004, Red Flag Design was born of a desire to create products that offered more than just function or style. Seeing how saturated the product market was with disposable goods which sacrificed design and quality for mass production, they decided to start a design company which would counteract those methods. Red Flag design became inspired by the amount of useful material that was discarded as a by-product of industrial production and saw opportunity lying in the waste. The challenge of working with unique materials is what drove them creatively. The goal was to develop those resources into products that challenged consumers and offered a fresh perspective on contemporary design by focusing on quality, process and innovation. Thus Red Flag introduced the beautiful and functional sail totes: stunning tote bags made from recycled sailcloth.
In order to keep quality consistent, while remaining dynamic enough to operate with ever-changing materials and methods, they pay close attention to every step of the manufacturing process. All of the materials are locally-sourced, and they work with a handful of skilled technicians to create all of their products in-house at a studio in Vancouver, Canada.
