Ditty Bag, known since 1800, is the first bag made by sailors with shreds of canvas sails and equipped with laborious hand-woven handles. Once used for work tools, it now becomes the small chest that holds the essentials for an important evening
Today we wanted to reinterpret this tradition, recovering parts of sails that are over 40 years old, jealously guarded in our archive. Rings and carabiners are oxidized by sea salt and are enriched by hand stitching that is no longer present on modern sails today.
Each Ditty bag is made by highlighting the details that make it unique through careful recovery and assembly work. The handles are handmade according to ancient knotting techniques which require precision and execution time.
Each of our products is made with recycled sails. We give a second life to precious technical fabrics that have a story to tell. All Rivelami products are eco-sustainable

SAILING SEA SUSTAINABILITY AND DESIGN
Let's sew our passions together
Since 2014, Rivelami has been producing bags and furnishing accessories by recovering, re-adapting and recycling the fabric of the sails that have sailed in our seas. The knowledge of Silvia, architect and founder of the brand, and the technical preparation of Dario, sailor and sailmaker, make each product unique, with a recognizable style combined with attention to quality
