About Me Sarenofar by Sarah Nofar

Growing up in metro Detroit, I initially expressed creativity through dance, not realizing that I could create shoes. Influenced by values of gratitude and recognizing hidden beauty, These values have fueled my drive and attention to detail throughout my design and development journey, as each element plays a crucial role in enhancing the designs.

Accessories feature innovative and artistic styles that challenge conventional definitions of design, art, and fashion, carving out a distinct niche of their own. inspired by the stories of people I meet. I aim to transform everyday objects into bold pieces that reflect their owners' stories, emphasizing storytelling, hidden beauty, and a unique approach to luxury in fashion. Fashion as a form of salvation.
