Some boutiques you walk into and immediately understand. Sarah's Bag in Beirut is one of them. Founded in May 2000 as a rehabilitation project for women in Baabda Women's Prison, what began as field research for a master's thesis in sociology became one of the most quietly radical things in contemporary fashion: a label where craft is freedom, where a handbag takes twenty hours to complete, and where every sequin placed by a skilled hand carries a story the bag will carry forever.
