Meet Sac Fleurs, the bag of the month!  I adore this bag because it is stylish but unique, as well as incredibly sturdy and large.  I can store everything I need for my whole day in one bag (like my lunch, computer, gym clothes, planner, Derek Bag with some knick knacks, and more).  Even when it is full to the brim, this durable bag never lets me down.  And, as a special Monday-blues treat, Sac Fleurs is on sale this week!!!!  So go check it out, ASAP!

When designing this bag, I envisioned a functional, yet stylish tote.  It can carry the effects of the modern woman's life without looking clunky.  I collaborated with my dear friend Rachid, as well as the local artisans who craft these bags, to make the entire piece come together.  I originally planned to produce a simpler and smaller tote.  After much discussion, we decided to make the tote larger so that it could be a more versatile bag (suits traveling, work, soccer games, anything!), and add three leather flowers onto the outside of the tote, making it Sac Fleurs.

Of course, like the rest of my collection, it is handmade in Morocco by local artisans.  Sac Fleurs comes in pewter, natural leather, metallic orange, and yellow.  The leather is dyed in honeycomb pits in the Medina, which have been around for centuries (read more in my post about the Suki Bag from last month).
