Thank you for having me on the podcast D Sustainability Issue 🤍
In this episode of “D Sustainability Issue” I had the pleasure to welcome Sabrina Satzinger. Sabrina is the founder and maker behind Saborka - a Vegan Bag brand based in Vienna, Austria. Saborka makes timeless, unique, and high quality accessories for all walks of life, fairly produced in-house by the founder, Sabrina, herself. Craftsmanship, local production, responsible use of resources and materials are at the core of everything Saborka does. I am lucky to now call Sabrina a dear friend too, and can’t wait you to hear my full conversation with her.
With her brand Saborka Sabrina wants to give people the opportunity to buy something that is locally produced, while showing the importance of preserving the skill and craft of bag-making.
Sabrina shares her take on real versus vegan leather, which has been extremely refreshing, and one of the most honest conversations about this topic I have ever had. She shares ways that enable one to prolong the life of vegan leather, and debunks the myth that real leather is a waste product of the meat industry and thus does not drive demand.
Sabrina works with pineapple-based vegan leather Piñatex and other innovative leather alternatives, as well as headstock materials.
Lastly, one of the most important points Sabrina addresses is how important it is to show up and have an uncomfortable conversation without perfect knowledge (which, by the way, doesn’t exist). We learn and get better by having conversation about the topics that are important. I am for sure extremely grateful that she decided to have this one with me.
