Luxury accessories brand MAISON de SABRÉ is welcoming the new season with a whimsical yet meticulously crafted release, unveiling its Spring Harvest Collection.
The global launch introduces a series of collectible SABRÉMOJI Vegetable Charms alongside two new interpretations of the label’s popular Bucket bag silhouette.
Inspired by the changing rhythm of the seasons, the collection reimagines everyday produce as sculptural leather miniatures designed to be attached, stacked and styled.
Crafted entirely from upcycled leather offcuts generated during handbag production, the charms blend playful personalisation with a considered approach to sustainability.
“The new Vegetable Charms reflect our renewed focus on seasonal storytelling – capturing the optimism of spring through an expression of craft,” said Omar Sabré, Co-Founder and Creative Director of MAISON de SABRÉ.
“The SABRÉMOJ platform allows us to push the playful boundaries of our savoir-faire on the smallest and most intricate scale. The charms are contemporary art for your handbag.”
Available in four designs – Carrot, Mushroom, Snap Pea and Chilli – each piece showcases intricate leather marquetry techniques including bombé onlay and underlay panels, hand knotting and detailed tack stitching.
Select styles also feature miniature zipper compartments capable of housing small essentials or even an Apple AirTag, merging decorative craft with everyday practicality.
“For us, vegetables felt like the perfect symbols of the season,” said Sabré.
“They represent growth, abundance and nature – but translating them into leather with this level of detail required incredible craftsmanship from our artisans.”
Complementing the charm launch are two new additions to the brand’s Bucket bag family.
The Mini Bucket Soft Tote offers a petite, fluid interpretation of the original design, crafted from resin-backed full-grain leather and featuring a reinforced base, magnetic closure and detachable strap.
A new dual-tone top handle introduces a fresh design signature while maintaining the relaxed slouch that defines the silhouette.
Meanwhile, the Zipped Bucket Crossbody presents a more structured take on the cult shape.
Designed with a trapezoid profile, full-length brass zipper and crescent silhouette that moulds comfortably to the body, the bag arrives in new seasonal hues intended to complement everyday wardrobes.

Police, paramedics, firefighters and the public will walk from Newcastle to Penrith this September for World Suicide Prevention Day.
2 min
NSW schools, gyms, 000 services and the public are being called on to lace up for Steps for the Love of Living, a four-day, 200km walk from Newcastle to Penrith held in honour of World Suicide Prevention Day.
The walk will draw star power as well as solidarity: legendary MMA fighter and former WIBA and WBF world champion boxer Arlene Blencowe, known as “The Aussie Girl ‘Angerfist'” and a respected youth mentor, will join the walk’s final leg from Parramatta to Penrith.
She’ll be joined by five-time Olympian and diving icon Melissa Wu, Ambassador for the Step Into Action Foundation.
The walk runs from September 10 to 13, beginning on World Suicide Prevention Day itself, and starts at Newcastle’s McDonald Jones Stadium before finishing at Penrith Showground.
It’s a joint initiative between The Australian Man Cave Support Group Inc and the Step Into Action Foundation, two organisations working on the frontline of suicide prevention in NSW.
The Australian Man Cave provides a safe, non-judgmental space for men to speak openly, with a focus on reducing the rate of male suicide, while Step Into Action concentrates on youth suicide prevention through resilience-building and early-intervention programs.
This year’s event also features a friendly inter-service challenge between NSW Police, NSW Ambulance, Fire & Rescue NSW, SES, Surf Life Saving NSW and the Rural Fire Service, who’ll compete to walk the furthest and raise the most for suicide-prevention initiatives.
“This walk is about hope, connection, and standing together,” said Lou Greco, President and Co-Founder of The Australian Man Cave Support Group Inc. “Every step taken is a step toward saving a life.”
Leading the charge is Chris Barton, Founder of the Step Into Action Foundation and a long-distance walking adventurer, who is taking on the full 200km route.
He’ll be joined for part of the way by the “Bakery Brothers”, Tyson Pedro and Rama Pattison, who are trading in punches and pastries for kilometres, walking the full distance alongside Chris.
How to get involved
The event is open to everyone, not just those able to walk the full distance. Participants can:
- Walk the full 200km from Newcastle to Penrith
- Join for a single day or section of the route
- Take part virtually from anywhere in Australia — at school, the gym, work or in the local community, logging kilometres through walking, running, rowing, cycling or treadmill sessions
000 services can enter as teams for the inter-service challenge, and schools and gyms are encouraged to form their own teams to complete the distance collectively.
Funds raised will go towards mental health first aid training, crisis response support, community outreach programs, support services for at-risk men and families, and youth suicide awareness and prevention programs.
Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among Australian men and young people. Both organisations say the walk is about ensuring no one feels alone in their struggle.
