Marine Science is Beautiful
The ocean as never seen before
Merging Art & Science
Crùbag was founded in Scotland in 2013 with a bold vision to unite art, fashion, and marine science through colour and textiles that celebrate our planet and reveal the unseen beauty and knowledge of the ocean.
Each scarf is a celebration of discovery and a call to action for protecting our ocean, sharing scientific knowledge and inspiring love and a deeper connection with the world around us.

The SAMS Ocean Explorer Tartan
We envision a better, more connected world where humans are not separate from nature but part of the ecosystem.
Material solutions from the ocean
SeaDyes
SeaDyes®, our first material solutions project, is a seaweed-based dye innovation for fashion and textiles. It started as a project of the Scottish Association for Marine Science and Crùbag and became an independent marine biotech startup in July 2023. We are delighted to announce that SeaDyes is since January 2025, a spin-in of the James Hutton Institute in Scotland.
"What would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark? It would be like sleep without dreams.”
