Initiatives-Cœur x 727 Sailbags: From Sail to Heart.

In 2020, during the Transat Jacques Vabres race, skippers Sam Davies and Paul Meilhat damaged the gennaker of their 60-foot Imoca sailboat “Initiatives-Cœur”. We repurposed the sail into a unique collection of bags, designed with Sam Davies.

Proceeds from the sales are donated to the Mécennat Chirurgie Cardiaque NGO to fund children's heart surgeries.
