The Giveback Program
For 20 years SABEN founder, designer and creative director Roanne Jacobson has lead the way, creating timeless, covetable accessories designed to be by your side for years to come. A firm believer of "fewer more beautiful pieces", we are proud to continue our commitment to extending the life of your SABEN piece with the Giveback Programme. We invite our community around New Zealand to join our circular giveback program, re-homing your pre-loved SABEN, all while giving back to one of our favourite charities.

If your bag isn’t in a condition that we feel we can sell at our Archive Sale (hey, we get it, our bags are used day in, day out and over the years, they can start looking very well worn). If this is the case with your bag, we thank you for wanting to be involved in our Giveback Program but your bag won’t be accepted if it’s not in a quality resalable condition.
It will be cleaned and priced, and stored until our Archive Sale where it will be available for purchase by a lucky lucky customer, and the money donated to charity.
