Letters from the Fleet

Word travels up the coast.

Three summers of rescued towels and mended straps have earned a shoebox full of letters. Here are a few — fictional, like the shop, but written the way real ones read.

Burt turned my mom’s old beach towel — the one from every summer of my childhood — into a tote I use daily. I cried right there. The dog didn’t judge.

Bought the laptop tote at the farmers’ market in 2022. Four years of daily commutes and the only thing worn out is my laptop.

The Beach Day Duffel has survived two kids, one wet dog, and an entire clam-digging season. It’s a towel. It just shakes it all off.

I came in for a tote and stayed forty minutes watching her cut and sew in her studio. Rigger supervised. Ten out of ten.

She talked me OUT of the bigger bag because the small one fit my haul better. Try finding that online.
