We've been making bags since 1989. And honestly? We've been obsessing over what happens to them after you're done with them for almost just as long.
Spoiler alert: the answer isn’t pretty. Most handbags—even the perfectly good, still-wearable ones—wind up in landfills. Not because they don’t have any life left, but because there hasn’t been an easy way to pass them along. And, when you consider that the equivalent of a garbage truck full of clothes ends up in landfills every second, that's...a lot of perfectly good bags contributing to textile waste.
We just knew there had to be a better way.
Our Dream: Complete the Fashion Circle
Our goal at the Sak has always been to make sustainable handbags that last season after season. Quality hand-crochet, solid construction, timeless designs that don't have a style expiration date. True circular fashion means making sure our bags can move from closet to closet, owner to owner, staying in rotation instead of ending up in a trash bin.
Enter ReSak: our resale marketplace where your old favorites get a second (or third, or tenth!) life.
How ReSak Works
ReSak is powered by Treet, which basically means we've taken all the annoying parts out of handbag resale. No consignment drama like pricing confusion or doing the math in your head to see if it’s worth your time. Here's what you do:
To Sell Your Sak:
1. Sign up at resak.thesak.com
2. Snap some decent photos of your bag
3. Add details about its condition and style
4. List it
5. Ship it when it sells (we'll send you a label) and get paid in cash or 110% store credit (yes, for real—we reward you for keeping bags in circulation)
To Shop Pre-loved Sak Styles: Browse everything from brand-new-with-tags to well-loved classics at lower price points. Every bag is authenticated, so you know exactly what you're getting.
What You'll Find on ReSak
Check back often for a rotating selection of pre-loved bags and secondhand handbags that deserve a second act. We've organized everything into three easy-to-shop categories:
From The Sak: These are authentic Sak favorites straight from us—overstock, samples, or styles we're phasing out to make room for new collections. Translation: brand-new bags at resale prices.
Still Tagged: Never-worn beauties ready for their debut. Someone bought them, kept the tags on, and decided to pass them along. Their loss, your gain.
Just In: New arrivals hitting the marketplace daily. Iconic Sak styles that just landed, so you can shop the latest drops before they're gone.
Within these categories, you'll find everything from:
· Handcrafted crochet crossbodies in every color (our signature style never goes out of style)
· Best-selling Los Feliz bags in buttery leather and soft suede
· Vintage finds from past collections that are basically impossible to find anywhere else
· Well-loved classics with that perfect broken-in feel
Think of it as the world's best treasure hunt, but a sustainable one.
Why Circular Fashion Matters
The fashion industry produces over 100 billion garments a year, and only about 15% of textiles get recycled. The rest? Landfills, most likely. And while handbags aren't produced quite as fast as fast-fashion tees, they still contribute to a system that's often wasteful.
By choosing a sustainable fashion marketplace like ReSak—whether you're selling or buying—you're opting out of that cycle. Plus, extending a product's life by just nine months can reduce its carbon, water, and waste footprint by 20-30%. Not bad for clicking a few buttons.
