ABOUT

Sabrina ZengDesign in movement. Craft in stillness. Objects that breathe.

Sabrina Zeng Studio is a founder-led design studio creating sculptural, movement-driven objects rooted in craftsmanship and emotional utility. Founded in 2013 by designer Yuanwen Sabrina Zeng, the studio blends European luxury traditions of material integrity and restraint with Asian art principles such as rhythm, flow, and spatial balance — exploring how design can support a quieter, more intentional life.

Currently expressed through handbags made in Italy, the brand is known for hand-pleated leather techniques that create softness and movement within structured forms. Produced in small batches and designed in New York City, each piece reflects a commitment to material integrity, thoughtful construction, and enduring design over trend-driven fashion.

The studio’s work has been featured in Vogue, Who What Wear, and InStyle UK, and worn by tastemakers including Caroline Issa, Zanna Rassi, and the Suarez sisters. Sabrina was named one of Not Just A Label’s 100 Emerging Fashion Visionaries and was selected as a finalist for the Independent Handbag Designer Award, marking her contribution to modern craft-led luxury.

Each collection is inspired by travel, freedom, and the emotional relationship between form and function — evolving as expressions of a broader design philosophy that may extend beyond handbags into objects, rituals, and stories.

 

A note from Sabrina— on movement, curiosity, and living in flow:

"There is this kind of bird. They were said to always fly, fly, and never touch the ground. They would fly with their faces towards the sun, and only land once in their life…that’s when they die.

There is this kind of person. They are said to be endlessly curious, and never stop exploring and evolving. They travel with their eyes wide open. They are soft, feminine, and yet powerful and tough. They are living their life full of creativity, fun, and adventure.

We started in New York, and it is just the first stop…

I believe that you need to walk your own path in life. I also believe that life is about whom you meet and what you create with them. 

See you on the road!"
