Christine, architect, and Yann, sailor of offshore races for 20 years, then preparer of racing boats with expertise in sailors (nothing, sailing), gather their know-how to create the art of turning sails of boats. Bags, Baggage, accessories and unique decoration items: the new adventure of sailing back to port!

Christine drew the models, Lucie sewed them, Yann worked the leather by hand and hand, took care of the sailor, and above all, visited the yards and ports to recover sails at the end of maritime life. They start with five bags for sale, and the sewing machine in the shop. Success is at the rendezvous and the rush of this new activity! First, the Brussels press, thanks to a trophy of innovation. Then, on the occasion of the departure of the Route du Rhum in 2002, Vent de Voyage has benefited from a national mediatization thanks to its pioneering efforts in recycling: Tokia Saïfi, Secretary of State for Sustainable Development, visited the shop, which sparked Telematin’s interest in France 2. The mediatization gives a good boost to the activity that remains of course artisanal, the bags are sold to Japan, Scandinavia! Christine innovates with web activity, remote selling, customization, customization.

2020, Christine is thinking of handing over, trying to convey her home to an entrepreneur who preserves her philosophy.

Pierre, born from an entrepreneurial journey, after having developed at the national level Les Babas de Saint-Malo in 3 years, seeks to take up a local “pick”: a company with a committed team, carrying a quality know-how, values anchored in Breton territory, the possibility of developing the activity, and that of expressing itself within the project. It is therefore seduced by the values of respect, honesty, creativity of Vent de Voyage and his team. And of course by craft know-how, pioneering spirit, eco-responsible, artistic aspects, the connection to the sea, the journey and Saint-Malo!

The future of Vent de Voyage will remain faithful to its origins and will gradually bring new more masculine models, collections with vivid colors and collaborations with artists or brands that share our values and open us to new horizons. Accessories and

From the very beginning, Vent de Voyage has embraced sustainability by recovering and recycling large racing sails from iconic boats, including Fuji, Gitana, and GROUPE GCA–1001 SOURIRES, the vessel of famed sailor Gilles Lamiré. Each bag tells a unique maritime story - some sails are donated by sailing enthusiasts, such as an Optimist champion whose well-traveled sails still show their official gauge pads, used to craft a special birthday gift.

Others come from passionate sailors and nautical clubs, like a recent donation of colorful vintage sails from the Hauts-de-France. We preserve every authentic detail: numbers, eyelets, ropes, gauge pads, and stitching are integrated into each design, honoring the history of the sail and the spirit of the sea.

Since relocating our workshop to Dinard in 2018, we’ve upheld a model of artisanal, small-scale production. Every piece is made by hand with precision and passion, respecting traditional techniques. Our skilled artisans use methods inspired by sailmaking: saddle-stitching, hand-inserted leather accents, and finishing guided by the human eye - not machines.

We also offer repairs to extend the life of our bags, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable fashion.
