Own a Piece of History: Empire State Building Partners with Sea Bags and Max to Transform Fabric from 270-Foot Dragon into Recycled Tote Bags

Vhagar lives on.  

The Empire State Building partnered with Max to donate 18,000 square feet of fabric from Vhagar – the 270-foot dragon that perched on its mast as part of the HBO® Original series “House of the Dragon” takeover last month – to create limited-edition recycled tote bags by Sea Bags.  

Fans can now own a piece of history through these exclusive recycled tote bags made from authentic dragon skin, while supporting the environment. A portion of the proceeds will be donated by Sea Bags to the Ocean Conservancy. 

From Dragon to Tote: The Transformation Process 

Fabric from Vhagar – made up of 1,700 total patterns and 600,000 inches of sewn seams – was transported from New York City to Sea Bags’ headquarters in Portland, Maine. Each unique tote is made from a combination of the dynamic dragon material and recycled sail cloth with hand-spliced hemp rope handles and a brass clasp. The one-of-a-kind bags are individually numbered and include a certificate of authenticity.
