Waterfront: Classic Clutches

Couture meets the classic boat world with Cristi Craft wooden hull handbags. Available in several styles and modeled after classic boats, the bags are designed by Cristi Selvester and made by restorer Steve Thomas. Thomas finishes the bags to match an owner’s full-size boat, with the same stain and upholstery, and applies the same hull number.

The bags come in several styles and eras, bows and sterns. The transom handbags with boat names in matching script are the most popular. The company suggests the bags make good gifts for wives of restoration-obsessed husbands.
