Luxury doesn’t always come in large packages — and MAISON de SABRÉ’s latest release is proof.
The cult Australian accessories house, known for its minimalist silhouettes and saturated leathers, has just unveiled its newest drop: the SABRÉMOJI Padlock Charm ($89.00), a luxe little accent with a surprising amount of personality packed into its petite frame.
Far from your average bag trinket, the charm features a working brass padlock mechanism and is engineered to chime softly as it moves, a tactile, wearable expression of MAISON de SABRÉ’s obsession with craftsmanship and detail.
It’s designed to bring both style and light security to any carryall, belt loop or keychain, and is available in five dual-tone colourways inspired by the brand’s bestselling hues.
Crafted from upcycled leather offcuts sourced from their full-grain handbag production, each charm is as sustainable as it is stylish, giving new life to luxury materials that might otherwise go unused.
It joins the brand’s already iconic SABRÉMOJI™ Fruit Charms ($75.00), which rose to cult status after being spotted on the arms of celebrities like Blake Lively, Alessandra Ambrosio and Kristen Bell.
Each fruit charm, whether a lemon, strawberry or pineapple, is hand-cut, hand-stitched, and assembled in full-grain DriTan leather, maintaining the plush texture and colour saturation MAISON de SABRÉ is known for.
The charms reflect a growing appetite for micro-accessories that blend high design with a hint of play.
As Creative Director Omar Sabré put it,:“We’re building objects that invite self-expression — little luxuries that say something about the person carrying them.”
For those curating a charm stack or looking to add a subtle spark to their wardrobe this season, this might just be your lock-and-key moment.

King Living has unveiled a modular version of its Aura Sofa, bringing greater flexibility to the sculptural design collection as demand grows for furniture that can adapt to changing lifestyles.

Australian furniture brand King Living has expanded its Aura Collection with the launch of a new modular sofa designed to blend contemporary aesthetics with adaptable living.
The Aura Sofa builds on the success of the Aura Island range, first introduced in 2023, which included indoor and outdoor sofas as well as fixed and swivel occasional chairs.
The latest evolution introduces modular functionality to the collection, allowing homeowners to configure the sofa to suit a variety of spaces and uses.
As living spaces continue to evolve, particularly in urban environments where flexibility is increasingly valued, furniture designers are placing greater emphasis on products that can adapt over time.
King Living says the new Aura Sofa has been developed with this trend in mind, enabling customers to create corner, L-shaped or U-shaped layouts, while also allowing additional modules to be added as needs change.
King Living founder David King said the original Aura concept began as an exploration of sculptural design before being reimagined as a modular system.
“Aura began as an exploration of sculptural form. Now, we’ve brought modularity into that design language, giving the freedom to reimagine your space with a modular design made for flexibility,” he said.
The collection’s defining feature remains its soft, flowing silhouette, with curved forms replacing traditional angular sofa designs.
The company describes the sofa as a response to changing lifestyles, where living rooms increasingly serve multiple purposes, from entertaining guests and family gatherings to quiet reading corners and work-from-home spaces.
Its rounded profile and minimalist aesthetic are intended to enhance the flow of contemporary interiors while maximising available space. According to the company, the design is equally suited to compact apartments and larger open-plan homes.
“Today, living space is both a luxury and a constraint. Aura is our response, a purposeful design that proves when intention and fluidity converge, the result can feel both expansive and refined,” King said.
Beyond aesthetics, the new sofa incorporates several engineering features synonymous with the King Living brand.
These include the company’s Postureflex steel suspension system, extra-high pocket springs and its signature steel frame, which is backed by a 25-year warranty. The company says the design has been engineered to deliver long-term comfort and durability.
Sustainability has also been a focus of the design. Each module features a removable cover that can be professionally cleaned, repaired or replaced individually, reducing the need to replace an entire sofa and potentially extending the product’s lifespan.
The Aura Sofa is available made to order in a range of premium fabrics and European leathers, allowing customers to tailor the piece to different interior styles and colour palettes.
Designed, manufactured and sold exclusively by King Living, the Aura Sofa launched in showrooms and online early this month, marking the latest addition to the Australian company’s growing portfolio of modular furniture designs.
