The Sak Brand Group designs and manufactures six distinct handbag brands – The Sak, Elliott Lucca, FreeBird, sakroots, Luxy and Lina.

The Sak bags retail for $69-$229 and can be found at department stores including Macy’s, Dillard’s and Nordstrom, select specialty stores and online at www.thesak.com.
Elliott Lucca’s unique vision stems from a synthesis of refined global influences, feminine intelligence and sensual textures. Soft and lightweight bags with attention to detail and custom hardware are key design elements. Uncompromising quality creates extraordinary value and gives meaning to the concept of everyday luxury. Elliott Lucca is under $200 and available at premier department stores including Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, on www.elliottlucca.com and at select specialty stores.
A tribute to the brand’s heritage established two decades ago, sakroots demonstrates “peace and harmony among all things.” Sakroots reflects a creative, soulful and dynamic lifestyle through its collection of eco-friendly accessories featuring its artist circle gallery of original artist prints. The collection retails for under $100 and is available at department stores including Macy’s and Nordstrom’s as well as online at www.thesak.com. Sakroots supports The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees Campaign.
Lina is fresh, lighthearted and natural. Modern with a feminine twist, the collection is comfortable and easy-to-wear. Handcrafted details including a detachable coin purse give each bag a special fee. The collection is available in crochet and man-made leather styles and retails for $29-$69 and is available at mid-tier department stores.
Luxy is a modern casual collection of easy-to-wear leather bags. Soft silhouettes give way to function and femininity. Luxy retails for $75-$110 and is available at mid-tier department stores.
“Radical” Organizational Structure
Different than most corporate-minded companies, The Sak Brand Group has never been solely about profits, but instead about values. What The Sak Brand Group values the most is based on a set of ideals called “TAO” that easily could have been called “OAT”. After hiring a consultant in 1997, the executives at The Sak Brand Group were asked to answer a very simple, but telling question – “If you were going to leave the company for a year what would you tell your employees?” The response was unanimous and every one of the executives responded saying they would tell employees to build relationships within the company based on trust, “T”. The other top responses were “take action” and “be an owner”, which became A, for action and O, for owner. “Be a good communicator” was another top response, almost causing TAO to become TACO. But in the end, TAO remained and the company began operating based on those three essential concepts – Trust, Action, and Ownership. Six values grew from these ideals – honest, humble, loyal, driven, confident and passionate. These values are the cornerstone of all decision-making at The Sak Brand Group. In 2010, The Sak Brand Group implemented a new organizational re-structure based on these values aimed at driving teamwork, innovation, and empowerment. The linear structure uses alternative practices such as no chain of command and the use of committees in the decision making process.
