The mini version of the PAK came about when customers would request the functionality of the wipe-clean lining and structured silhouette – just smaller. The design for the PAK was inspired by the first three of my girlfriends to have children – Paige, Kristin, and Anne. They were some of the first to carry my bags, and the first to happily give me feedback. They needed wipe clean lining. It needed to be the perfect evening bag; then effortlessly transition into a place they could safely keep half eaten snacks (that we all know will never be finished) while schlepping their kids around town the following afternoon. Tall order, but I was committed to coming through, and so I did with the PAK. I feel very fortunate to have women in my life that inspire me to create functional pieces.
