PRODUCT REVIEW: LADERA, THE ULTIMATE EVERY DAY HANDBAG FROM THE SAK

These days I am always on the go, it seems. Between school drop-offs and pickups, it seems I barely get home before it’s time to leave again. And for the past year, I’ve pretty much reached for my beloved The Sak Pax leather cross-over handbag daily, as it simply incredible, and in spite of using it so much, you’d never know. Speak of amazing quality!
(you can read more about here). So needless to say that when I was kindly gifted a new The Sak handbag, I couldn’t have been more excited. 

 If you have not heard of The Sak before, it is one of the USA’s largest handbag companies that have been around for over two decades, and today are sold in over 850 speciality stores across 24 countries – including Australia.

I selected the The Sak Ladera Leather Crossbody in Black (though it is also available in several stunning shades such as cognac, mint and arctic blue).

The Sak Ladera Leather Crossbody is made of the softest leather you ever did see. And so thick and gorgeous!! It has a stylish antique brass tone hardware, which makes it both stylish and feminine at the same time, and perfect for both a night out as well as everyday use.

The handbag has a main zipper closure for the main part of the bag, and on the front of the bag is has a zipper feature with two vertical zipper pockets, one on each side, as well as a front slip pocket and back slip pocket, which personally I like to use for my keys and mobile, so they’re within easy reach.

Internally, the bag has a black lining, while the inside of the internal pockets are bright pink, which is such a gorgeous touch. And internally you’ll also find smaller zipper pocket suitable for lipsticks etc, as well as two multi function slip pockets, a larger one and a smaller one, which again can be used for things like your mobile phone etc. 

The handbag also comes with a detachable leather tassel keychain, but personally I think its a shame to remove it as it adds such a beautiful feature to the bag, although you can of course attach it to your keys!!

The handbag comes long strap so you can use it crossbody (and have your hands free, which is a lifesaver when you have little kids!!), and you can alter the strap to make it shorter or longer to fit your need.

It measures just over 30cm in height with a width of 5cm, and it is small enough to not be a burden to log around, yet big enough to carry all your everyday essentials - for instance, in mine, I can easily carry both my mobile, keys, small amount of makeup, my iPad as well a back-up nappy for my little boy, and without feeling that it is overloaded.

This is seriously an incredible bag, and I really love all the beautiful features and details, which are simple, yet super stylish modern, yet with a slightly raw edge, also making it perfect for casual jeans days. 

It is so well made and the feel and quality of the leather really is top-notch, so if you're looking for a beautiful high-quality handbag, you really must check out The Sak, I know you won't regret it. I know it doesn't come cheap, but it will seriously last you for years and years. I’ve already got my eyes on my next one!!
