In 2017, brothers Omar and Zane Sabré launched Maison de Sabré with no fashion pedigree or investors and no intention of following the traditional luxury playbook.
Starting with a single full-grain leather phone case, the brand has since grown into a globally recognized luxury house, stocked in Paris, New York and Tokyo and carried by Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey and Katy Perry.
The story of how that happened is not a conventional one, and that is rather the point.
From Dentistry to Design
Omar Sabré, co-founder and creative director, trained as a dentist before turning to design. His brother Zane runs everything behind the scenes—operations, finance, logistics.
“To put it simply, I create everything you see externally, and Zane crafts everything internally,” Omar explained. “Our combination means we can dream ambitiously while still delivering on time and at scale. Every major decision is a conversation between imagination and logic—and that balance is what keeps Maison de Sabré evolving.”
Built outside the traditional luxury template—no heritage or investor road map, and no definition of the impossible—that freedom has become one of the house’s clearest advantages.
Today, Maison de Sabré operates across handbags, small leather goods and travel items, alongside its Sabrémoji charm platform—collectible microaccessories distributed across more than 80 countries.
Collaborations with Pokémon, Hello Kitty, and Mr. Men and Little Miss have driven global sellouts without paid media, with drops generating waitlists of more than 20,000 customers. The brand remains privately owned and founder-led, and that independence is foundational to how it works.
Circular Luxury and Sustainability
Every piece of leather used by Maison de Sabré is full-grain European hide, sourced from Leather Working Group Gold-rated tanneries in the Netherlands and Germany, and processed using DriTan technology—a waterless method that eliminates sludge discharge and saves up to 20 liters of freshwater per hide, equating to 25 million liters annually.
The offcuts from handbag production became the starting point for the Sabrémoji platform. Rather than discarding what remains, the brand recaptures it, transforming residual leather into handcrafted charms using marquetry techniques at a miniature scale. In turn, Maison de Sabré has diverted more than 40,000 square feet of leather from landfills.
Innovation in Craft, Longevity by Design
Each Maison de Sabré product takes between 12 and 18 months from sketch to finished piece, with most of that time spent in research, development and real-world testing.
Products are conceived as systems rather than standalone pieces, with each element designed to work with the next, extending the life of what a customer already owns.
“Everything we craft is designed for how people live today,” Omar noted, “with the same exceptional level of care you’d expect from a heritage house, but with the mindset of what comes next.”
The World’s Most Personalized Handbag
This dedication to craft and innovation is showcased in the brand’s most recent release, the Trio collection, launched in May 2026. At its center is the Soft Trio—a softly structured crossbody built from a single piece of full-grain European leather, folded into three distinct panels using a stitch-free trifold construction and secured by a full-length brass zipper in high-polish gold.
Paired with the utility strap, the twist handle—a hand-tied upcycled leather handle that functions as a sculptural charm—and the limited-edition bow padlock charm, the pieces together unlock over 720 possible styling combinations.
“The Trio collection is designed as a system of infinite possibilities,” Omar said. “It’s crafted to adapt, to transform and to carry with purpose—creating a new approach to longevity through design. Of course, our playfully optimistic world of color was central to this new language.”
The twist handle and bow padlock charm are made from upcycled leather offcuts, keeping the circular logic present in the house’s newest chapter.
