Sara Naghedi is the founder and creative director of Naghedi, a luxury line of cruelty-free neoprene bags, each woven entirely by hand. Sara launched her eponymous brand in 2016, inspired by her desire to embrace a slower, more intentional approach to fashion. At Naghedi, each bag is meticulously designed with timelessness, versatility and ease at the forefront, as a means of combating the waste produced by fast fashion. Naghedi is the first brand to master handwoven bags made of neoprene, a durable, lasting fabric built to stand the test of time— a central focus of the brand and a reflection of Sara’s passion for responsible manufacturing. Prior to founding Naghedi, Sara was founder and owner of Deux Lux, an accessories brand she launched in 2005 after leaving behind a law career to pursue a more inspired, creative venture. Over the next 15 years, Deux Lux grew to international acclaim—the brand was featured in Oprah’s Favorite Things List and garnered celebrity fans like Alicia Silverstone, Mena Suvari and Petra Nemcova. Naghedi is a culmination of Sara’s extensive industry experience, fearless entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to conscious consumerism —the business she always envisioned running. Sara lives in New York with her husband and three children.
