I am so excited to share with you the first photos of my dream handbag from Sarah Haran.
As you know, I am a Personal Stylist and my mission is to empower women and help them look and feel their best every day, by understanding the clothes, styles, colours and accessories that will enhance their body shape and flatter their colouring, as well as suiting their personality, lifestyle and of course, budget!
Sarah’s mission is also to empower women by helping them to feel confident and to be creative with their style, thereby enabling them to be more organised. She designs beautiful and functional dream handbags which are incredibly versatile and can be used in a number of ways, taking you from day to night and even to holiday packing!
“I wanted to create the perfect handbag for modern women. Beautiful, functional and versatile, with no compromises or trade-offs around quality or ethics”
Sarah Haran
The handbags are handmade in low quantities by UK and Spanish artisans, and each dream handbag takes up to 20 hours to complete. All the factories she uses are family run businesses with craftspeople who have passed their skills on from generation to generation over the years.
Sarah wants her customers to carry her bags for decades, not just seasons, and all her bags and accessories are backed up by a lifetime guarantee.
A key principle of Sarah’s business is that all her bags must be functional as well as fashionable and they are all extremely versatile.
I selected the Iris Saddlebag in burgundy with a gold chain, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. Firstly, I love burgundy (as you may already have noticed, given the number of posts there are of me wearing my burgundy suede jacket – here and here) and secondly, I have had so much fun experimenting with all the different ways you can carry this dream handbag!
The clever, modular design means that you can wear it in 10 different ways to suit your style and the occasion by changing the tassel, detaching the front Ivy clutch and carrying it as a stand alone, swapping the strap or chain. The detachable Ivy Clutch would also be perfect for an evening event.
In the first photos I am carrying the saddlebag with the leather burgundy strap and the tassel attached to the side.
In the next photos I swapped the burgundy leather strap for the gold strap. However, I left the tassel attached, although I could also have worn the bag without the tassel.
The next few photos are of the detachable Ivy Clutch, with the gold chain. In the first few photos, I’m carrying the clutch without the tassel, and in the last photo of the clutch bag I attached the detachable tassel. The clutch can also be worn with the leather strap as a cross-body bag (with or without the tassel!)
The Iris saddlebag is also perfect for a casual look with jeans.
I’m so excited to have found my dream handbag, and I love that I don’t have to compromise on ethics, quality or functionality! And, did I mention that the cost is really reasonable too, as the brand delivers direct to the customer and so keeps their overheads low.
As always, I love to have feedback, so please do leave comments and also, please ask any questions you may have too!
I hope you enjoyed this feature about My dream handbag from Sarah Haran, and have a look here for more style inspiration.

This burgundy bag is so beautiful. I love the story behind its design. It is great that it comes with a replacable handle, that makes it more versatile. I’m a fan of ethical brands and slow fashion. You look lovely, this is a chic look.

What a great concept and a gorgeous bag – and there are so many colors to choose from! Burgundy is definitely a great color on you and those shoes are great! I especially love that the clutch is detachable and I love the chain. She has some beautiful mini bags, too.
