The Sak Handbags: Mark Talucci (CEO) and Todd Elliott (President), founded THE SAK handbags in 1989 with a singular design, created from a unique fabrication. The immediate success of this handbag revealed a great demand in the marketplace for accessories crafted from unique textiles. Encouraged, they began developing distinctive, richly textured weaves, and in 1994, launched THE SAK handbag s signature fabrication, Tightweave . This exclusive textile, shaped into modern handbag silhouettes, garnered a tremendous following, and propelled THE SAK handbags into becoming the fourth largest handbag company in the United States. THE SAK is a progressive, San Francisco-based company that has been wooing ladies with its unique and cool handbags since its debut. From day one, this peace-loving brand has seduced with its one-of-a-kind handbags made of textures and textiles which have quickly become signature fabrications. THE SAK handbags stand for distinctive, casual fashion for the free spirited and young at heart. Whatever the handbag style, THE SAK is always chic and shoulder worthy. Today, THE SAK originates a wide range of inimitable textiles including leather, suede, canvas, straw, rattan, crochet, knits, and wood beads. It has evolved from a handbag company, to an accessory and lifestyle brand. THE SAK handbags and THE SAK accessories are sold in over 1900 department and specialty stores throughout the United States, and in 22 international markets.
