Founded in 1989 by childhood friends Mark Talucci and Todd Elliott, The Sak translated the spirit of a trip to Bali into a globally recognized accessories brand. Inspired by the discovery of a simple rattan and leather bag, the San Francisco-based company captured the laid-back California lifestyle with its focus on unique, textural designs. The brand skyrocketed in popularity during the 1990s, igniting a "crochet craze" with its iconic Style 120 Hobo, a soft, slouchy bag that became a defining accessory of the decade. Today, The Sak continues to offer its signature hand-crocheted bags alongside high-quality leather goods, all characterized by artisanal details and a relaxed, versatile style.
