I won The Beast (Saddleback leather)

My awesome husband, Rob, introduced me to Saddleback leather a couple of years ago.  He was drooling and thought I may be interested in knowing why. ;)  I bought him a couple of pieces when he got his PhD which encouraged more drooling; from both of us.

Saddleback recently ran a contest to see who could come up with the best uses for their utility straps, the winner would receive a Beast in the color of their choice.  Rob had a great idea and made a great video showing off that idea.  I thought for sure he would win.


Mr. M was inspired by his daddy and made his own video.  Daddy was very proud of his boys being so excited about Saddleback leather and entered the video for Mr. M.


I could easily think of some funny ways a mom could use the Saddleback utility straps so I made my own video (well actually Rob helped with most of it, but the ideas were all mine!).  I thought the guys at Saddleback would get a good laugh out of the video.  I didn't really think I'd win....but I did!



I'm so excited that I get to bring yet another piece of Saddleback leather into our home for my husband.  Maybe I should get myself a piece too one of these days?  I'm looking at their small totes, one of those would be a nice treat.  Then I'd neet to get a wallet, of course the clutch purse would be handy to throw in there, and then there's...oh I better just stop now. ;)

Oh, and of course I wanted the Chestnut Beast to go with all of Rob's other Saddleback.  It will be his after all.  Thank you Saddleback!

  3. All the videos were so cute! Yours did make me laugh. : ) I am so glad you won, and also very sad that I showed my husband The Beast, and Saddleback leather, since I don't know how I forgot for a moment there that my husband loves--I mean LOVES--really big, expensive, well-made "overkill" bags. We had just never seen any before in leather. And now we have, and the image will likely never leave his fantasies. ; )

  4. Rob- You are the best!

    Crystal and Kim- Thanks!

    Blessed- HA! I think this is a fantasy you should let you husband live out. ;) You'll love this stuff too. Maybe you should get a tote, the black and coffee have a bit of a steampunk look for you!
