The SAK Fernwood Tote | Versatile Leather Blend Handbag with Tassel Accent

Posted on: Feb 3

Combining casual cool with just a hint of boho chic, The SAK has created a great everyday bag in the Fernwood tote.

The slightly bohemian vibe comes the slouchy leather-polyurethane blend and the wooden tassel. Stone accents jazz up this unexpected detail, which helps to add interest to this fairly simple design.

Of course, it's that back-to-basics approach which gives the Fernwood its versatile appeal. While it'd look perfect with a flowing hippie skirt, it'd be equally at home paired with jeans or even a smart office ensemble. It's rare to find a bag so ready to make the nine-to-five transition, but this could do the trick. While it won't suit an exclusive soiree, you could easily carry it to the movies or after work drinks.

It's got the space to match its versatile good looks, but it's not so large that it'll overwhelm you. It's hard to strike that balance, and I appreciate the effort. The interior is simply designed, with a zippered pocket and two open slips just enough to keep your gadgets and smaller items in order.

By using a leather blend, rather than a pure skin, The SAK has managed to keep the price down to an affordable $129. For a sophisticated bag that's 90% leather, that sounds like a good deal to me.
