By Katrina Waelchli University of Alabama graduate Saxby Sperau followed her love for fashion to create her own clear handbag collection in response to new stadium bag policies. 38 <strong>Alice</strong> Winter 2019
IT’S ALL IN A BAG It was a sad day when students had to put their beloved opaque purses on the shelf following The University of Alabama’s announcement of a clear handbag policy for Bryant-Denny Stadium. The policy - which has been implemented in stadiums across the country for safety reasons - stated that any bag bigger than a clutch had to be see-through. One University of Alabama alumna was not going to let a rule stop women from having a little bit of fashion fun. Saxby Sperau created her own line of clear handbags in response to the new stadium policy, saying “there is no need to compromise style” when it comes to the bags in her SAX B collection. HIGH-QUALITY AND HOMEGROWN After being denied stadium access during a fall 2016 home game because of her designer purse, the search was on for Sperau to find the perfect clear handbag to mirror her style. She found multiple mundane, nearly identical clear bags, and thus the idea of SAX B formed. Sperau believes in self-expression through fashion, which is why she started the collection: to give women the opportunity to still be fashionable at an event that requires a clear bag. “To me, fashion is supposed to be fun, and you should feel confident in what you’re wearing,” Sperau said. Sperau’s bags are made with english bridle leather, solid brass and nickel hardware, and high gauge marine-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This increase in quality distinguishes SAX B in a market that typically uses “pleather” and low-grade PVC. Right now, the must-have SAX B items are the classic tote and crossbody. The tote is the earliest SAX B design and the classicality of the bag is perfect for any game day outfit. “SAX B handbags are for women who own their own style no matter the time or place,” Sperau said. Sperau said her biggest SAX B accomplishment is that the products are completely American-made. “We value the artisans who work in this country and their skills, and we are thrilled that we’ve been able to work with them,” Sperau said. “We want SAX B to be a viable and sustainable brand known for high quality products and continue to manufacture in the United States.” <strong>Alice</strong> Winter 2019 39
