Saben is a luxury accessories brand, designed in New Zealand and founded in 2002 by artist and designer Roanne Jacobson. Named in tribute to her grandmother, Sarah Saben, the brand was born from Jacobson’s experience in New York—unable to find a handbag that seamlessly blended beauty and function, she crafted her own in her parents’ garage .
Driven by a design philosophy of “fewer, more beautiful pieces,” Saben focuses on intuitive functionality, intentionality, and enduring quality. Each collection is thoughtfully curated, with every piece intended to become a treasured wardrobe companion for years to come .
Rooted in conscious creativity, Saben blends pure design with a modernist outlook that draws upon travel, innovation, and heritage . The brand is proudly B Corp Certified—recognized since April 2025 for its commitment to environmental and social responsibility—affirming its dedication to crafting responsibly made accessories that exceed expectations .
Today, Saben has cultivated a devoted international following—embraced for its understated elegance, mindful craftsmanship, and tailored functionality. Each bag is designed to effortlessly carry life’s essentials—from school runs to boardroom pitches—while reflecting the strength, style, and resilience of the women who wear them .
