Two New sak.sak Arrivals: A Luxury Blanket and a Safety Bag Built for South African Roads

sak.sak has been quietly expanding its range of South African-made bags and accessories — and two new additions have just landed at Made by Artisans. They couldn't be more different from each other, which is exactly what makes them worth talking about together.

One is pure comfort. The other is pure practicality. Both are handcrafted in South Africa, available in six colours, and very much worth knowing about.

The 'snoes.sak' Luxury Blanket

snoes — Afrikaans for a deep, contented sleep. The name tells you everything about what this blanket is for.

snoes.sak Luxury Blanket — Big Billy Cord and fleece, made in South Africa

The snoes.sak is a two-sided blanket that gets the combination exactly right: premium Big Billy Cord on top for texture and visual warmth, and ultra-soft insulating fleece underneath for the kind of cosiness that makes you reluctant to move. It's the blanket you reach for at your desk on a cold morning, wrap around yourself on a long flight, or drape over the couch for the evening. Quiet luxury, on your own terms.

snoes.sak Luxury Blanket colour range — Yellow, Orange, Blue, Grey, Charcoal and Cream

Available in six colours — Yellow, Orange, Blue, Grey, Charcoal, and Cream — and two sizes:

  • Medium (1.5m x 1.5m) — R1,250 — the everyday companion
  • Large (1.5m x 2.0m) — R1,450 — for when you want to disappear entirely

Made in South Africa. The kind of gift that gets used every single day.

 

The 'kar.sak' Essential Roadside Bag

kar — Afrikaans for car. This one was built for the road.

The kar.sak is a thoughtfully designed roadside and personal safety bag, created specifically to give South African women — and anyone who spends time on the road — peace of mind in a single, organised, easy-to-reach bag. Whether you're a new driver, a student commuting across town, a mom doing school runs, or someone who regularly drives long distances, the kar.sak keeps your essentials where you need them, when you need them.

kar.sak roadside bag with optional safety components including jumper cables, first aid kit and pepper spray

The bag itself is made from hard-wearing Capri fabric with a 100% cotton handle, machine washable (cold water), and available in six colours: Orange, Blue, Yellow, Grey, Safari Green, and Pink. Dimensions: 24cm x 38cm x 12cm — substantial enough to hold everything, compact enough to live in your boot or on your back seat.

There are two ways to buy it:

  • Bag Only — from R770 (standard) or R885 (with personalised embroidery)
  • Bag + Safety Components — from R2,250 (standard) or R2,365 (personalised) — includes heavy-duty jumper cables, LED headlight/flashlight, first aid kit, pepper spray, tow rope, and tyre inflation & emergency repair kit

The personalised embroidery option (+R115) makes this an exceptionally thoughtful gift — for a daughter getting her first car, a friend who travels alone, or anyone you want to know they're looked after on the road.
