Beirut | Sarah’s Bag | Affirmative Fashion
Sequin by tiny sequin, stitch by intricate stitch, a handbag canvas comes to life. Under the patient, skilful hand of the artisan, it will be ten maybe twenty hours before the story unfolds: it could be the fearless palette of a wildly beaded Afghan Bag, the timeless beauty of Arabic calligraphy on an elegant evening clutch, or the bold silver hardware of a punk-rock princess shoulder bag.
We celebrate contemporary fashion, retro glamour and Middle Eastern pop culture. Catchy lines from Egyptian love songs are playfully stitched onto chic totes, Omar Sherif, Asmahan and Sabah are forever adored on our print clutches and Umm Kalthoum finally meets Andy Warhol.
Sarah Beydoun, founder and creator of Sarah’s bag has become a globally known name in the world of accessory and design. Sarah graduated from the American University of Beirut in Sociology, and obtained a masters degree from Universite Saint Joseph. Sarah decided to set up her company as part of a rehabilitation program, whereby women at risk from economic deprivation or the stigma of having served time in prison would learn valuable skills in return for a reliable income and a stable source of pride, dignity, and empowerment. In doing so, she created a robust young business that is stylishly aware and socially responsible at the same time.
Sarah’s bag recognizes that every woman is unique and responds by creating designs that are equally original. The company owes its success to every woman who wears, makes, supports, and contributes to the story of Sarah’s bag.
