Dying to know the latest in woven handbags? Here’s a new collection from the The Sak that will surely not disappoint you:

While the The Sak Fernwood Woven Handbag Collection comes in two (2) shapes (tote and hobo) and four (4) covet-able colors (cream, poppy, luggage, and buttercup), this line is also quite an innovation because apart from using very fine genuine leather to create the weaving pattern, the handles on each bag are unique and something I haven’t seen before.

Each strap uses a thin layer of rolled leather material that almost looks like fabric, which is then filled with braided leather cord to strengthen the handle.

Each bag is also lined with a plain rich fabric in the same color as the bag so it looks clean and elegant. The spacious interior with multiple pockets will allow you to store your daily essentials and keep it well-organized, while the platform base (both bags fashion a platform base) will make setting the bag down easy.

And the best part about buying a The Sak Fernwood Woven Bag is that it won’t hurt your wallet as much. The Fernwood Woven Tote will only cost you US$133 while the Fernwood Woven Hobo will only set you back US$113. Now that’s great value for your money.

You may purchase the The Sak Fernwood Hobo or Tote from Zappos.com. This online store offers FREE SHIPPING to anywhere in the US, so you actually won’t need to pay extra to shop from home.

Crochet Handbags: From The Celebrity Favorite Gerard Darel Syracuse “24-Hour” Bag to The Sak Indio Crochet Large Tote

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009 at 6:50 pm  

Though not exactly a woven item, the crochet or hand knitted bag uses a concept similar to that of woven bags – slightly different in technique (interlocking vs. interweaving), but almost the same as both are hand-crafted.

So basically, if you are into woven bags, crochet handbags might interest you as well.

One of the most well celebrated crochet bags is the Gerard Darel Syracuse “24 Hour” Hand Knitted Bag. A lot of celebrities have been seen toting this bag and I am not surprised as to why.

The detailing on the bag is quite unique and possibly laborious to do. I can only imagine the artisan hand-crafting this bag, it must have taken her a lot of time and a definite love of the art to come up with such a piece. To give you an idea of who’s wearing the bag, see below:

It is quite unfortunate that Gerard Darel bags are not available online for you to buy. Perhaps if you do a deeper search, you might find one or two sites selling the bag, maybe in new or pre-owned condition. To give you an idea, a brand new Gerard Darel Syracuse “24 Hour” Hand Knitted Bag will cost you about US$549.

If you don’t want to spend too much for a crochet bag, you can always opt to shop the look by purchasing The Sak Indio Crochet Large Tote at Zappos.com.

Though not as detailed as the Gerard Darel Syracuse “24 Hour” Bag, The Sak Indio Crochet Large Tote is more versatile to use. With less embellishments, it looks classic, allowing you more opportunities to use the bag with different outfits. As it is quite large, you can also use this bag as an overnighter.
