This is a sponsored post. I was provided with an item in order to share my honest opinion about the product and company. All thoughts are obviously my own.
I’m a little bit of a purse gal. Okay, maybe I have more than a passing interest in beautiful purses and great bags. One thing that I notice now is my love for bags has taken a turn toward the stunningly crafted and beautifully designed. I used to be okay with the inexpensive bags you could grab at any major retailer for less than you would pay for a t-shirt, but now I like quality. And with that quality I need something unique and stylish.
The San Antonio Shoemakers (SAS) is known for its footwear that is both comfortable and well-crafted. Back in 1976 the co-founders, Terry Armstrong and Lew Hayden, aimed to combat the trend of diminishing quality and cheap foreign manufacturing. They wanted to create a new standard in footwear. Fast forward a number of years and the company still handcrafts most of its shoes in Texas to exacting standards with the very best materials available. Oh, but that’s not all the company does. It also makes purses, using the same exacting standards and quality products.
Isn’t this purse lovely? It’s a SAS purse called the Jackie. The bag, which comes in a handful of colors including brown, black, gold and purple, is made from Italian leather. The hardware on this pretty is imported from Italy, while the purse is designed and constructed here in the states.
Personally, I love the floral detailing on the bag. It takes a very simple basic design and gives it that little extra something to make it stand out above the other available options on the market today.
Love this and want one of your own? There are hundreds of retailers around the country who sell SAS products. But you can also enter for a chance to win a Jackie of your own during the upcoming BlogPOP Holiday Wishes giveaway, December 3-7.
I have found that I prefer a bit more quality in my purse now too. I want something that is going to not only be stylish but also something that you can see the manufacturer took time with the details.

I didn’t know SAS made purses like that! I still have ONE lone pair of sandals from them that I adore and need to replace. They’ve always made quality products, so it is no surprise that they’d be the same with a purse. Just gorgeous!

That looks like a great purse! It can go with so many different outfits.
I’m a purse girl myself and I have to tell you that the Jackie is gorgeous! I definitely prefer long lasting, quality purses and I know SAS fits the bill. I had one forever when I was younger.
Im definitley a purse gal. I have a collection of them , all different kinds. Im not sure where I got that habit from but its bad. I love this Jackie its so different from anything I have now.

The older I get, the more I want to collect classy, staple piece bags! They just hold up so much better and add such a statement to any outfit, whether dressed up or dressed down. This bag is SO different, yet chic. What a cool find!
I love this purse. The design and detail is so practical yet fashionable. Love it.
I find that I prefer to have fewer quality purses than a lot of cheaper purses. This is a lovely purse.
I love the tooling on the bag and the unique shape. I find I no longer want a big purse where everything sinks to the bottom, never to be seen again!
