From LoveToKnow Handbags

About The Sak

For over fifteen years, The Sak has been manufacturing and marketing unique, textured handbags. With a knack for style a commitment to quality, CEO Mark Talucci and President Todd Elliott have been bringing hot handbag looks to the marketplace since 1994. Meeting the demand for original textured handbags, the company quickly took off.

The company's success with handbags escalated, and spurred the design and production of other accessories as well. Currently the company's products are distributed and sold in over 1900 retail establishments nationwide, and 22 markets throughout the world as well as through their online website. The Sak stands in a sought- after position as America's fourth largest handbag company.

The Signature

The Sak signature is their versatile Tightweave fabric construction. The textured fabric lends an air of softness and femininity, juxtaposed with modern shapes and designs that offer the consumer a modern, sophisticated fell. The Tightweave handbags are durable, distinctive, and affordable designer handbags. They are available in some of today's most popular handbag styles.

Other Weaves and Materials

In addition to the signature Tightweave, The Sak also offers a wide variety of weaves and materials. For their woven bags, available in dozens of shapes from mini messengers to larger shoulder bags and shoppers, you'll find:

  • Signature Crotchet Weaves
  • Bubble Weave
  • Honeycomb Weave
  • Basket Weave
  • Popcorn Weave
  • Patchwork Weave
  • Kipas Weave
  • Delicate Knit Weaves

Additional material choices fro Sak handbags include leather, suede, rattan, straw, Canvas, wood bead, integrated textiles, and more.

Color and Style

The Sak handbags combine fun, fresh style with a touch of classicism. While some styles, such as the contrasting bright orange suede and brown leather Rush Hour hobo, have a decidedly modernistic flair, other bags, such as the Shelby Hobo or the Rosette Flap Shoulder Bag have a retro feel.

There are plenty of choices in neutral colors, from blacks and chocolates to new grays. Rich earthen hues are also featured in Sak's collections -- such as taupes, rusts, and mustards. For those that love bright and bold handbags, however, you'll also find rich pinks, turquoises, reds, multi-color strips, colored patchwork designs, and multi-tonal bags.

Hardware

Hardware for Sak bags is usually minimal. Classy plates in some designs contrast the soft feel fabric feel in some designs. The accent rings, buckles, and slide-lock enclosures featured on a variety of the bags are used just that -- they accent, rather than overpower the bags. With the predominantly toned-down feel of these bags, they make a perfect choice for work and every day wear.

Trends and Holiday Bags

The Sak boasts bags that are affordably priced. The release of fresh new colors and holiday-specific bags make it easy to keep up with contemporary trends without wreaking havoc on your handbag budget. Whether you're in the market for spring pastels, an orange and black Halloween bag, or a festive Christmas bag, you'll find these and more.

Prices and Where to Buy

Prices range for Sak handbags from under twenty dollars for specially priced and clearance bags to under $250 for leather bags and bags with specialty handcrafted details -- such as the Penny Lane wool and leather bags.
