CC Loves... Saia Yoga Mat Bags!

Darlings, as a fashionista and a yoga instructor, CC is super excited to introduce you to Saia yoga mat carriers! Saia, a female-owned company based in the UK, just launched in January of 2020 and it's already a celeb go-to! The Saia signature Emmeline yoga mat bag, finely crafted in the highest quality vegan leather with a feminine design to complement any outfit, comes in several chic shades, including CC's fave, Cherry Blossom, pictured below.

The front turn-lock opens to reveal a faux suede interior with adjustable inner straps that secure your yoga mat in place. It hosts a convenient pocket to fit your daily essentials so you can leave your home without wrestling with your handbag. The detachable cross-body strap allows for hands-free styling with an optional shoulder padding that offers the right amount of support and comfort.

Each pretty piece is crafted impeccably and finished with gold-plated hardware for a luxurious look and feel. Best of all, Saia donates 5% of all profits to female education in developing countries. Beauty and heart? A winning combo! Be sure to treat yourself and your yogi pals to one of these exquisite bags this holiday season!
