Move over, Boatkin — there’s a new it bag on Nantucket.
This summer, the ACK Sack has become the accessory spotted all over the island — from brewery sips and CRU oysters to Gazebo mudslides, porch hangs, and Cisco sunsets. Simple in design yet endlessly chic, it’s a playful reimagining of Nantucket’s iconic Lightship basket (the heirloom classic that can fetch thousands). The ACK Sack makes it attainable, everyday, and fun.
Meet the Designer: Kylie Bell
The creative mind behind the ACK Sack is Kylie Bell, a fashion industry veteran with a sharp eye for style and a quirky sense of humor. After years in fashion, Kylie found inspiration in an everyday moment. Last summer, she carried a tote printed with a Birkin and thought:
“If you can print a Birkin on a tote, why not a Nantucket basket?”
That spark of whimsy became the ACK Sack — a clever twist on a coastal heirloom that quickly turned into the must-have bag of the season. It’s practical, chic, and just the right amount of tongue-in-cheek.
A Day in the Life with the ACK Sack
We took our ACK Sack on a picture-perfect summer day, and here’s where it tagged along:
Brewery stop — bought it a Nantucket Red.
CRU — because are you even on Nantucket without oysters + champagne?
Gazebo — slippery slides… must be 25 to enter but not to carry it.
Porch hangs — a little people-watching in town.
Cisco Beach — sunset waves + salt air.
Bike ride — island errands, done chic.
Everywhere we went, the bag just worked — easy, stylish, and a conversation starter.
Where to Find It
Want one of your own? The ACK Sack is available on island at Remy Creations (South Wharf) and FOR NOW.

Why We Love It
The ACK Sack isn’t just another summer tote. It’s a wink to tradition, a nod to Nantucket style, and the kind of bag you’ll actually carry from morning coffee to cocktails. Practical. Chic. Whimsical. And very much the bag of the season.
