Sandast designer Chris Pak draws inspiration from the silver screen.
Chris Pak, CEO and founder of Sandast, originally hails from Seoul, South Korea. But his line of leather bags and totes pays homage to the American West. “A lot of my inspiration comes from western movies,” says Pak, who launched the Sandast collection in 2010. “The bags [in those films] are sturdy and simple.”
Pak’s bags are all handcrafted in classic designs, replete with antiqued hardware and vintage details. Any one of the oversized valises wouldn’t look out of place slung over Clint Eastwood’s shoulder in a period piece.
