Maison de Sabré began with two brothers and a change of career. Omar and Zane Sabré, who were from a family originally from New Zealand, left dentistry in 2017, Omar already a dentist and Zane still studying it, after their father's leukemia diagnosis. Omar is the creative director, and the label they built is Australian-born and driven by color. The material matters as much as the palette: the leather is DriTan, a water-saving tanning technology from a Dutch tannery partner, and the whole line switched to it in 2022. The leather is finished in Sydney after 13 quality tests. The bag that carries the brand's name is the Palais, a debut signature handbag launched in September 2025 in LWG Gold-Rated DriTan calf leather, and it appears here as the Medium Palais Bag, the Medium Palais Top Handle and the Large Palais. For smaller days there is the Mini Crossbody, the Soft Crossbody, the Soft Trio Crossbody, the Mini Bucket Bag and the Switch Tote. The Trifold Wallet, the Bloom Edition bifold, the Card Holder and the Tech Pouch cover the small leather goods, and the Carry-On Suitcase, the Duffle and the Small Weekender are for travel. For a fresh look at wallets, card holders in slim slots and zip cases is helpful, and the flat zip pouch helps with pouches.

The charms are the playful side of the brand. SABRÉMOJI is the collectible line, and this group has the Fruit Charm, the Vegetable Charm, the Garden Bug Charm, the Bloom Charm and a Pokémon version. The Padlock, Bow Padlock, Key Case, Wristlet and Lipstick charms are more useful, since they hold something, and the AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 3 case charms are tech cases with a bright finish. The Charm Clip and the Jewelry Case round it out. Clip one to a plain bag handle and let the bag stay quiet. What I would skip is stacking a fruit charm and a padlock on the same strap, because they compete. For more on this idea, the best bag charms is a useful read.

This group is for the pieces that change a bag. The Palais Soiree is an evening shape in the Palais family, and the Twist Handle and the Bloom Edition Twist Handle are removable handles. The Utility Strap adds a strap, and the Sunglass Sling Case, the Passport Holder, the Leather Passport Holder and the Leather Pencil Case are small leather pieces for a desk or a trip. The Twist Handle and the Bloom Edition version are the quick way to change how a bag is carried, from shoulder to hand, without buying a new one. Pair the Passport Holder with a travel day and the Utility Strap with whichever bag you already own, and see a quiet suitcase from Vancouver for luggage ideas.

The last group is four small things: the Catchall Tray Organizer, the Leather Compact Mirror, the Leather Sunglasses Sling Case and the Watch Roll Case. The mirror is the one I like best for a bag, because it is small enough to disappear into a pocket . The tray is for the front hall, where keys, rings and a watch tend to land at night, and the Watch Roll Case keeps a collection tidy in a suitcase. The sunglasses sling case is the practical piece, a leather sling case that keeps the glasses from rattling around loose in a bag. For mirrors worth owning, a better makeup mirror starts with the light has useful thoughts.

If I were choosing a first piece, I would take a wallet or a charm in a color I would not wear on clothes, and then move up to the Palais. The brand collaborated with Disney and is known for its tech cases, wallets and carryalls, and the DriTan leather means each pick comes with a water-saving story. If you like color, start with the brightest wallet on the list and see how it feels in a plain tote before you add the charms.
