Harborside Rope Works
My name is Chris Vasconcelos and I have been Up-cycling derelict fishing and lobster trap line since 2016. I took my two young sons to the beach one day to help clean up litter and realized most of what we picked up could be re-purposed.
I was awarded a U.S. Copyright for my Rope Waves and sell Harborside wholesale to over 25 coastal boutiques in 18 states across the country. I strive to make a high-quality product using recycled materials along with providing the best customer service possible.
