Mother's Day 2008 - Giveaway Event

It still feels fabulous, so let’s do it again!

Since I have been loving every second with my The SAK Dakota Hobo handbag, we have decided to share our love of The SAK again this Mother’s Day.

SAK Dakota ShopperThis time, we have The SAK Dakota Shopper handbags in stunning graphite foil metallic to give away to two of you.

When I sling my Dakota Hobo over my shoulder it turns up the volume on my day. The right bag can turn an ordinary day into something fantastic.

Susan was more than a bit envious of my The SAK bag. But this time, it was her turn!

Susan loves her new Dakota Shopper. Not only is the head-turning, graphite crinkle-glazed leather funky and fabulous, but the Shopper is roomy with tons of convenient pockets and a detachable shoulder strap for when her hands are full with kids. With two little ones, the Shopper is perfect for Susan to double as her purse and as a mini-diaper bag with room for diapers, etc.

And what I love about The SAK is that you get the luxury of a designer bag at a reasonable price. I can look and feel fabulous at an affordable price. Sounds just perfect to me!

So this Mother’s Day, maybe some affordable luxury from The SAK might be the perfect gift for you. (Perhaps leave The SAK open on the computer with a note of your favorite styles. Maybe your hubby will get the hint!)

Speaking of favorite styles, if you want to win a The SAK Dakota Shopper, leave a comment letting us know what bag you would love your family to treat you with this Mother’s Day.

  633. Hi, I don’t own any really classy or nice bags. This Sak Company has some wonderful purses. The one in your drawing is lovely! Then, when I went to the site I looked two of them very much. The “Dakota Hobo Bag” and the “Ashbury Linen Shopper!” Please enter me in your drawing. Many thanks,Cindi

  634. While there is absolutely no way I could afford one of these bags (or even dream of one for Mother’s Day) this bag would be simply PERFECT!

    I could actually fit in all the stuff I need to lug around these days compliments of my sweet little guy. 🙂

    I’ve got the button up and linked on Parker’s blog!

    Soooo keeping my fingers crossed on this one!

  642. Ooh, I have been wanting a big metallic bag — this one would definitely fit the bill! Thanks for such a cool giveaway!

  648. I have bought several bags over the last few years that just haven’t met my needs. I need room for kid stuff, snacks, drinks, wallets, wipes, cell phone, keys, office stuff, day planner…all in a package that doesn’t break my back and leaves my hands free. I don’t even really care what it looks like anymore…although if it looked great that would be an added bonus. I would love to be entered.
