THE Winds of Change Blow over Lignano Sabbiadoro
Have you ever sailed close-hauled, with the sharp wind on your face and your heart beating in unison with the sea waves? Have you ever felt the boat heel, like a bird ready to take flight, as you sailed against the wind, going higher and closer to its source?
Bolina Sail, an artisanal workshop born in the heart of Lignano Sabbiadoro, a pearl on the Adriatic coast between Venice and Trieste, knows this feeling well. Surrounded by a vibrant lagoon, they draw daily nourishment from the beauty of the landscapes and the energy of the marine ecosystem. The sea, their world, their heartbeat.
What is “bolina”? In nautical terms, bolina is an exciting sailing angle that allows you to “sail upwind,” tilting the boat and accelerating the pace. Bolina Sail has borrowed this term to symbolize its mission to “sail upwind” in the fight against human impact on the Earth’s environment.
Bolina Sail chooses to take an alternative route through upcycling, transforming waste into treasures. When the whole world seems to be “sailing with the wind,” Bolina Sail challenges the current, determined to do its part to change things. The path to a sustainable future is not just a necessity but a challenge that humanity is accepting with increasing seriousness. In its little corner of paradise, Bolina Sail contributes to this change.
Every bag that leaves the Bolina Sail workshop is a unique piece, rich with the stories of the fabrics it is made of. Used sails from racing boats, cruisers, windsurfers, and kitesurfers are given a second life, transformed into carefully crafted and imaginative bags and accessories. Technical materials such as kevlar, dacron, and carbon avoid premature disposal, contributing to environmental preservation.
Bolina Sail sails upwind, one step at a time, carrying the scent of the sea and the essence of Made in Italy. With each bag, Bolina Sail conveys a message of hope and change, an invitation to sail upwind and build a better world. A world that we can proudly call our own.
