The Yoga Bag Blog

If you are a yoga enthusiast as well as an environmentalist, then there’s no doubt you will love the Recycled Sail Yoga Bag from Ella Vickers.   First looks are deceptive as far as this yoga bag is concerned.  I never would have imagined by looking at them that these extremely elegant yoga totes are organic and handcrafted using recycled yacht sails from around the world, making them eco friendly.  The beauty of it is that it saves thousands of yards of sailcloth every year.

The Ella Vickers collection is known to be the best in the market as they pay a lot of attention to the design, quality and durability of all their yoga accessories, and Costa Recycled Sail Yoga Bag is no exception. They use Kevlar Sailcloth and Dacron Sailcloth.

All this started with Ella making herself a couple of yoga bags using discarded sail.  They were such a hit that it led to the creation of her company.  I love the fact that they cater to the stylist in each one us, offering exclusiveness, as no two bags are the same. You can even ask for a sail number when ordering, as I did.

This is a really nice, simple and earthy yoga bag.  I love the metal holes for style and air circulation.  It’s also a bag that guys can carry!  The Manduka MatSak is an all-in-one tote bag for your yoga accessories that make it easy and convenient to take your yoga stuff anywhere you need to go.

This Matsak bag is made of a cotton canvas material that is both attractive and durable, and is even detailed with recycled PET mesh. There are two compartments inside this yoga bag hat are securely zippered closed to allow you to keep your keys and wallet safe, as well as your Yoga mat, your towel and a strap.

It comes in three beautiful colors, Stone, Graphite and Fig, and is fully breathable so that you don’t get  that gym bag smell when you open it up. Plus, with the comfortable shoulder strap and side handles included you’ll be able to take it around with ease.  The Maduka MatSak is well constructed with durable metal parts and will allow you to take your yoga equipment to yoga class for many years to come.

This innovative and stylish yoga bag should be at the top of your list this year, whether you are shopping for yourself or someone else.  The Prana Enchilada Wrap.

I call the Yogoco Yoga Mat Bags snowman bags cause they look like fallen down snowmen from the side.  Like the Saka Unfur, there are no other yoga bags that look like these.  They are really cool looking but hang sort of odd on the hip.  They are fine on your back though, just a different feel.  The Yogoco bag fits and protects mats up to 26″ wide.  It’s got “end-to-end” ventilation to keep mats aired.  This is very important and I feel like most bags don’t have enough ventiliation.  I guess there’s a balance between form and functionality.   There is a separate section for yoga towel, t-shirt, etc.  and the large interior pocket fits wallets, phones and other personal items.  The Yogoco Yoga Mat Bag Eco-friendly and sustainable fabric.  I’m not exactly sure what that means.  Look at all the color choices below!
