The Sak Commemorates Thirty Years of Craft With a Capsule Collection
The handbag label, Sak, remembers its Balinese heritage with a limited-edition capsule collection of which 100% of sales will benefit the female artisans who handcrafted each piece, stated an official release.“The Sak, America's original handcrafted crochet brand, is celebrating its 30th Anniversary with a limited-edition philanthropic capsule collection dedicated to the Balinese artisans who first inspired the brand's «crochet craze» back in 1989. One hundred percent of the sales of The Sak's new limited-edition collection will sponsor the healthcare and education of the female artisans of Negara and the surrounding Balinese villages, who handcrafted each and every bag, as a tribute to the label's roots. This charitable collection amplifies The Sak's commitment to a business built on purposeful intent, with future initiatives being planned for increased sustainability and fair trade,” says the release.The bags in the collection are entirely hand-crocheted by women in the Balinese village of Negara. The capsule will feature 18 new iterations of the iconic 120 Hobo bag in limited quantities. Each of the new styles will be hand-crocheted by a single female artisan who will sign and number her work. Committed to sustainability, the capsule will incorporate eco-conscious materials including bamboo and cotton. The bags will be adorned with removable keychains featuring three mandalas crafted from natural materials to represent the harmonious elements of water, earth, and air, as per the release.According to the release, some unique styles from the collection include:· The Sanur Bypass: A zig-zag weave inspired by Bali's frenetic Sanur Urban Bypass leading you from the beach to town. Available in three color waves, the style embodies the bustling and vibrant energy of the Island.· The Ragam: Named after the Indonesian word for diversity, the Ragam bag celebrates the multi-cultural identity of the Balinese people.· The Ashbury: A colorful and bohemian style reminiscent of The Sak's very first San Francisco office, the Ashbury bag comes in two color waves and features a bottom panel peace sign, representative of the free spirits and forward thinkers that make the Haight Ashbury district so iconic.The Sak Brand Group's Co-Founder + CEO, Mark Talucci is quoted as saying in the release, “As I look back over the last three decades and where the world was when we started versus now, I recognize the importance of reframing the way The Sak functions as a global citizen. This capsule collection commemorates the brand's origin with an added pledge for environmental stewardship, authentic craftsmanship and philanthropy."Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the bag collection https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
