Mari Saka has taken her Zen 3 handbag line from her bedroom to the hands of some of Hollywood’s hottest stars.
“I started small,” the designer explained. “I was doing everything in my third bedroom. Last year we finally moved into offices in Dania Beach.”
The brand’s booming popularity can be accredited to the mix of style, practicality, and affordable prices.
“I have a niche. We are known for our basket weave. I think that’s why so many people respond.”
Not to mention those recession-friendly prices. Zen 3 clutches cost just $50. The bestselling Mari bag retails for $120, while the most expensive satchels and shoulder bags are priced up to $385. With high-end designer purses regularly costing four-figures, it’s little wonder that stylish celebs like Eva Longoria, Cate Blanchett, and Lindsay Lohan are fans.
Zen 3 Purses are available through the label’s website, Macy’s, and 200 specialty boutiques across the United States.
