DEL MAR COLLECTION
TECHNOLOGY
Sea Bags are born as sails and transformed into nautically inspired totes and accessories that bring customers great happiness. Costa Del Mar believes sails soak up sun, salt, smiles, and adventure.
Of course, Costa cleans the sails before making them into bags. The materials retain the essence of what they once were, where they've been, and what they've done. It's this previous life that makes each bag unique.These materials come from Maine first, New England second, and the rest of the USA third. Costa uses the last remaining thread manufacturer in the U.S. Costa uses the only rope manufacturer in New England. And Costa's sail supply chain? Well, that is as local as it gets. Costa collects their sails one at a time through a network of passionate boaters who love Costa's community waters as much as Costa does.
Costa's bags are designed and sewn in a building that hangs over the water. Costa is located on Custom House Wharf in the heart of Portland's working waterfront. It is an unconventional location, but Costa thinks the sound of seagulls and the smell of bait from the local lobster boats is an important part of the character of Costa's bags.
With Sea Bags, recycled and sustainable are not afterthoughts. They are the cornerstones of the Costa brand. Costa products are upcycled from used sails. Costa uses eco-friendly inks and develops innovative solutions for reducing scrap.
Costa builds the clearest sunglasses on the planet for those who live to be on the water. Costa wants to be on the water and protect it, and Costa wants to inspire others to do the same.
In 1983, a group of hardcore fishermen who spent their days exploring the globe and battling extreme elements came to realize that the sunglasses they were relying on weren't as hardcore as their adventures. Seeing the world in absolute clarity and protecting their eyes was a must. So when they couldn't find worthy sunglasses, they decide to build their own. And Costa was born.
After all these years and all these adventures, Costa's mission has never wavered: to create the clearest sunglasses on the planet for life's great adventures. And the patented technology like those found only in Costa lenses and frames are proof that Costa is succeeding.
As the leading manufacturer of the world’s clearest polarized performance sunglasses, Costa offers superior lens technology, unparalleled fit and durability, and a limited warranty against manufacturer’s defects on all of its products. Still handcrafted today in Florida, Costa creates what has been referred to as the highest quality, best performing sunglasses on the planet for outdoor enthusiasts. Costa makes the best polarized sunglasses on the planet, including the high definition 580 lenses, which are unparalleled in their ability to cut glare and enhance your view of the outdoors.
