Heritage accessories destination The Sak — founded in 1989 by two childhood friends who came back from a trip to Bali feeling utterly inspired by its local bag-making techniques, proceeding to introduce them to a U.S. audience — has just gone live with its fall 2026 collection, and this is one you’re going to want to pull out your wallet for.
The edit, titled “Fall Into Craft,” revolves around four silhouettes: the crescent moon–evoking Tess, the slouchy and boho-coded Los Feliz, the shoulder-ready Juniper, and the Vita, a convertible wristlet.

Suede finishes take center stage as part of The Sak’s latest — swathed in sumptuous, moody, and runway-approved shades ranging from Black Cherry to Whiskey. These tried-and-true seasonal codes aren’t revelatory; instead, they confirm what fashion insiders have known all along about the trends du jour while harnessing The Sak’s legacy of artisanal excellence (and thus turning the bags in question into veritable collectibles).

The label is best known for its crochet handiwork, and shoppers can introduce the texture into their rotation by cosigning options composed of ocean-bound plastic–sourced yarn (most of The Sak’s fall 2026 handbags are also sold in woven, straw, leather, and, of course, suede iterations to suit every sartorial sensibility under the sun).
According to a press release, The Sak seeks to “reimagin[e] fall dressing as a feeling, not just a season.” Prepare to feel absolutely enchanted, then, by its bag lineup for transitional-weather dressing and the daily transition between work and play.

“Suede arrives in the colors of harvest and dusk. Hand-crocheted textures echo the last warm afternoon of the season. Leather with studding and hand-crafted dangles catches the light the way water does on a late-October afternoon on the North Fork. The result is fall dressing at its most alive: layered… and unapologetically rich,” the assortment’s official description continues.
Not a single handbag here skimps on quality, as is The Sak’s way, but this doesn’t necessarily translate to restrictive price tags. Indeed, the collection‘s hero offerings start at $59 for the Vita Convertible Wristlet and go up to $269 for the Los Feliz’s large-and-woven look — putting them squarely in the affordable-luxury category.

If you ask us, fall should be rooted in intentionality, effortlessness, and a slowed-down pace alike. Each of The Sak’s fresh styles, meanwhile, is sure to root your autumnal aesthetic in timeless sophistication, and in case you wish to go the route of the unexpected, its slew of woven charms (from dangling hearts and pretzel motifs to Halloween-themed five-packs and practical, clip-on coin pouches) will be conducive to just that.

best bucket bag
The Sak Tess Bucket
The asymmetrical Tess completely wins us over with her stud-blessed, belt-inspired handle that helps the bag appear bohemian and put-together in equal measure, a rare balance to strike. Throw on your favorite pair of wide-legged jeans, sling this baby over your shoulder, and head out the door in full confidence.
best for staying organized
The Sak Los Feliz Medium Tote
Believe it or not, The Sak’s Leather Working Group–certified Los Feliz is equipped with multiple organizational compartments for keeping track of your belongings on the busiest of days. Beyond this inherent functionality, it’s a looker and a half: wrapped in 100-percent cowhide suede that benefits from a cooler tone.

The Sak Los Feliz Bucket Hobo
This Los Felix variation is what would manifest if the above two product picks had a baby. Boasting one of the most buzz-generating colorways in this drop, Black Cherry, the chic hauler also features attractive seams and a zipper pocket at back for storing everything from your Kindle to your go-to lippie.
best large work bag
The Sak Los Feliz Large Tote
Comfortably fitting a work laptop, this bag has extra-roomy dimensions and five pockets throughout. The main draw? Undoubtedly its intricate exterior made of natural, drum-dyed leather. You’ll be tempted to run your hand over it again and again… and again.
best purse
The Sak Juniper Small Hobo
Thanks to The Sak’s Purple Dot guarantee, pre-ordering this item online comes with peace of mind on the side (essentially, get it to your door or get your money back). We’re drawn to the Juniper’s luxe composition, variegated color scheme, and possibility of crossbody wear.
best crescent bag
The Sak Tess Shoulder Bag
Yes, crescent bags are still “in” and, at this point, might always be. Subscribe to the trend courtesy of The Sak’s Tess — a curvilinear beaut with zip closure that, its maker will have you know, was manufactured using four recycled plastic bottles.
best woven charm
The Sak Yarnicharmz Dangle
Let your new purchases have some fun, and let The Sak’s charm selections be the reason they do. This heart bauble was handcrafted by Balinese artisans and flaunts antique-looking hardware, a multihued tassle, and beading that contrasts aptly with all that ocean-recycled yarn.
runner-up
The Sak Yarnicharmz Dangle
And if aubergine — the color and the plant, that is — is on your mood board for fall, turn to this additional version of the aforementioned charm. Similarly rimmed with beads, the purple-on-purple arrival is meant to go hand in hand with any of the collection’s bags that are outfitted in Black Cherry (though we recommend letting your styling imagination run wild).
