Sarah is the founder of SCLARANDIS, a sustainable, high-quality footwear brand. Her passion began in childhood in Torino, Italy, and led her to study shoe design in the UK and train with master shoemakers in Varese. She later moved to the U.S., designing for top fashion brands, leading creative teams as VP, and building global partnerships across Italy, Spain, Brazil, and China.

Sarah shares her journey from studying in the UK to launching her own brand after years in corporate roles. She talks about the inspiration behind her designs, the balance of comfort and style, the challenges of manufacturing and marketing, and her excitement for future projects like the “sneaker ballerina.”
