From the HEART

AS THOMAS SABO release the second wave of their new brand, Saboteur, the man behind the eponymous label reveals what inspires their designs

- 

/jEWELLERY BRAND FOUNDER Thomas Sabo has been on top of his game for almost four decades now - a fact that speaks to an instinctive knack for knowing exactly what people want from their most precious accessories. Collections have included intricately crafted pieces that lean into people's connection with symbols and mythology as well as detailed designs inspired by everything from nature and the animal kingdom to astrology and travel not forgetting the crosses, which have become iconic.

I met Thomas Sabo as he prepared to launch the second wave of the German label's new brand, Saboteur. As we chatted, I was struck by his quiet charm and charisma - he reminded me of a biker-leather-clad Jeff Bridges. We talked about the incredible legacy he has created and how the business is very much a family affair - Saboteur is a collaboration between Sabo, his wife, Rita, and his son, Santiago. He also revealed where he finds inspiration for his bestselling jewellery.

Is the brand intertwined with music?
