New Items Pouring In!

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes dozens of new items to choose from at Red Sail. Traveling far and wide over the last few months, I've been able to pick up some truly beautiful and unique pieces for every department of the store. I'll be updating the site each week with all the new arrivals, but here is a sneak peak at what the next few months will bring!

When you have a special event, such as a wedding or baby shower, our new hand bound guest books, photo albums and baby books are the perfect way to commemorate the occasion. Made in Pawtucket, Rhode Island by Rag & Bone Bindery, these archival books are distinguished by their craftsmanship and enduring beauty. Arriving in March. Priced from $30 to $70.






Using time honored techniques, designer Sara Barner hand makes each of these stunning wallets and handbags herself in her Portland, Oregon studio. These pieces are to die for. The Italian calfskin leathers are soft and supple, and the colors are classic! Arriving early April. Priced from $80 to $400.

Available now, $152.














For those of you that enjoy have one-of-a-kind pieces, these belts and belt buckles are for you. Made by hand in Columbus, OH each buckle has it's own story... literally.
