It often seems like The SAK has just two types of handbags. There are the sleek urban stylings of the Ashbury Shopper and Silverlake Flap bag, and then there are the casual green accessories like the Eco Harmony Shopper and the Indio Crochet tote. But it seems The SAK hoped for something in the middle when it created the Glisten Crochet shoulder bag.
The simple box flap design and crocheted finish give it a relaxed hippie vibe, but that’s jazzed up with the micro-sequins that give the Glisten its name. It’s still never going to make the transition to evening purse, but it will add a little sparkle to your everyday.
This purse is on the small side, so if you’re a pack rat beware. The soft body will allow for a little overstuffing, and the flap can be unfolded for extra storage space. Yet at a slender one inch wide, bulky items like chunky novels are still best left at home. I do love the hidden zippered pocket in the flap, which is ideal for stashing cash and valuables away from prying eyes.
Sling the braided strap over your shoulder, or detach it and carry the Glisten like a clutch. For $69, this is one versatile and eco-friendly flap bag.
