MEET OUR FOUNDER SARA NAGHEDIÂ
I founded NAGHEDI with the desire to make everyday style a little more effortless while reducing fashion waste through lasting design. People often ask how I got started, since my design career didn’t follow the “typical” path. After finishing my law degree I couldn’t ignore my lifelong creative side. I turned to handbags as an entry point to the industry. I designed private-label accessories for nearly two decades, but eventually felt creatively unfulfilled and increasingly frustrated by the wastefulness of fast fashion trends.
I designed the St. Barths Tote at my dining room table in 2015, while I was pregnant with my daughter. It was the bag I couldn’t find for myself: a modern, versatile carryall that would transcend trends. NAGHEDI, the first line of handwoven neoprene bags, launched the following year. Since then, we’ve expanded into footwear and small accessories, all made with the same dedication to craftsmanship, function, and style. Â
Whether you’re headed to the office, taking the kids to school, or packing for a long-awaited trip, I hope you love your NAGHEDI. Thank you for being a part of our community!
Xx, Sara
