Sakroots Bags Review & Giveaway: Perfect Holiday Gift (11/17)

I was recently contacted and asked if I would like to review one of The Sak’s Sakroot’s purses as well as give 3 away to my readers.  I have alway been a huge fan of The Sak and of course I love purses so this was a no brainer for me.  I can never have enough purses especially cute purses.

The Sakroot’s Pax Eco Crossbody is a 3-in-1 purse with a design that is eye catching as well as functional.  This purse can be used as a crossbody over the shoulder purse when you want it to stay put.  You can shorten the strap and make it into a demi or you can take the strap completely off and fold it to make it a clutch, it truly is a very versatile handbag.

Here is a bit more about the purse I received to review:

11″ Length, 1″ Width, 12″ Height, 22″ Strap Drop

Exterior: 55% Jute/45%Cotton; Azo-free, all natural dyes

Interior: 100% recycled cotton

Zipper closure

Features exclusive “peace print” by a Paris-born graffiti artist

Zippered front pocket

Detachable and adjustable strap

Can be worn as a Crossbody, Demi or carried as a Clutch!

Lining features two multi function pockets and a zippered backwall pocket; features inside “happy & free” message

Easy Care: Spot Clean with barely damp cloth and mild detergent such as Woolite

I love the fact that the interior is made from 100% recycled cotton, with all the green efforts being made in the world today it’s great to be able to do your part and be stylish.  The Sak has always been front runner in fashion, with many celebrities carrying their amazing handbags,  and now with the Sakroots line they are doing their part to help in a small way with our environment.

A little bit more about the company, The Sak, behind Sakroot’s (taken from their site):

The Sak brand philosophy is happy & free. Peace and harmony among all things is interwoven into our spirit, our deep rooted heritage and our down-to-earth style. Friends from childhood, Mark Talucci and Todd Elliott both grew up overseas. Their love for finding and importing unique textiles was drawn from going to local hippie fairs in places like Brazil and Mexico, where Mark lived most of childhood.

Both unenthused by their lackluster corporate jobs after college, Mark and Todd found inspiration during a trip to Bali in 1989 where they were intrigued by the extraordinary objects and artisan fabrics they discovered. Both natural entrepreneurs, Mark with a degree in engineering and Todd in business administration, they decided to start a business importing these “found treasures” from overseas to their hometown San Francisco.

After embarking on their entrepreneurial journey into the world of fashion in 1989, Mark and Todd were soon challenged with taking their brand to the next level. In 1994, the imported rattan bags were blowing off shelves at major retailers sparking Mark and Todd to go a step further. The idea for The Sak was to create a simple, memorable, casual and relaxed handbag with universal appeal. Staying true to texture, they created a singular handbag from a unique Tightweave fabrication using nylon string. Starting a crochet “craze”, The Sak handbag (Style 120) was an overnight phenomenon. It soon became one the most coveted items of the 90s coining the phrase “A SAK on every back”.

Roomy, fashionable and a 3-in-1 purse, what more could I ask for right!
