FAQs

What is Striped Buoy fabric made of?

Our bags are made from PU-coated Tyvek — a lightweight, tear-resistant material that's naturally water-resistant. We chose it because it holds up to sand, salt, and sun without weighing you down.

Is it waterproof or water-resistant?

Water-resistant. Splashes, sandy beach bags, wet swimsuits, boat spray, pool decks — no problem. It's not built for full submersion (so no diving to the bottom of the pool with your phone inside), but for everyday coastal life, it's got you covered.

How do I clean my bag?

Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, and the washing machine.

What fits inside each size?

Small Pouch — phone, keys, sunglasses, lip gloss, credit cards — the stuff you grab for a walk to the water

Medium Pouch — add a paperback, sunscreen, wallet — your everyday carry-all

Carry-All Tote — towels, snacks, a change of clothes, water bottle, book — built for a full beach day

Can I use this for more than the beach?

Definitely. Customers use them as everyday totes, gym bags, boat bags, pool bags, and travel packing cubes for wet or sandy items. Coastal-inspired, not coastal-only.

Where is Striped Buoy designed?

Right here on the Seacoast of New Hampshire. Every print starts with something we love about coastal New England — buoys, lobsters, shells — and gets made into a bag we'd actually want to bring to the beach ourselves.
