Sarah's Bag

Sarah's Bag is among the more quietly consequential labels to come out of Beirut — founded by Sarah Beydoun, the brand has built a visible international presence while staying rooted in Lebanon through its longest disruptions. The work is handcrafted, with embroidery and beadwork carried out by women prisoners and women at risk, a social programme sewn into the product rather than attached to it as commentary. The bags have made it to major press and collaborations well beyond the region. Without a live catalog to assess current range or pricing, what holds is this: the craft infrastructure is the point, not the backdrop.
