At Home With Our Founder, Mon
by Sabi The Label
·
Hello, I’m Mon, the founder of Sabi The Label, and I’m thrilled to invite you into a little corner of my world. In this post, I’ll share some personal insights about my life, my passion for cooking, and how my home influences my creativity and well-being. Let’s dive in!
Q: Mon, what’s your favorite way to unwind and find inspiration?
A: For me, inspiration often strikes in the most unexpected places. I’m an extremely introverted person, and I find my creative sparks during quiet moments—whether I’m out on a solitary walk or soaking in a bath. These moments of solitude are where I let my mind wander and dream up new ideas for Sabi The Label. There’s something incredibly calming about the rhythm of a walk or the tranquility of a bath that helps clear my mind and allow new concepts to surface.
Q: It sounds like your home is a significant part of your creative process. Can you tell us more about that?
A: Absolutely. My apartment is not just a place to live; it’s a sanctuary where I nurture my ideas and well-being. I’ve dedicated the largest room to be my Sabi office because it feels right to honour the empire we’ve built. I want to be surrounded by the space that represents our hard work and creativity. Being house proud is a big part of who I am. I believe that the space you’re in can profoundly impact your creativity and overall well-being. It’s about creating an environment that fosters inspiration and calm.
Q: We’ve heard you’re passionate about cooking. How does that fit into your life and work?
A: Cooking is one of my greatest joys. It’s a meditative process for me, a way to disconnect from the hustle and reconnect with something simple and rewarding. Whether it’s preparing a complex dish or just experimenting with new ingredients, cooking allows me to express creativity in a different way. It’s also a way to nurture myself and those I care about. Sharing a meal that I’ve made with love feels deeply satisfying.
Q: You’ve mentioned that people often stop you in the streets or at events to express their admiration for Sabi The Label. How does that make you feel?
A: It’s honestly one of the most humbling and rewarding experiences. I can’t quite describe the joy and gratitude I feel when someone approaches me to share how much they admire my brand. It’s the highest honour and a testament to the incredible community Sabi has here in Naarm, Melbourne. Every word of support, every compliment—it all reinforces why I do what I do. I’m incredibly grateful for the love and support from everyone. It’s the fuel that keeps me going and striving to create even more.
Q: Any final thoughts you’d like to share with our readers?
A: Just a heartfelt thank you. The connection we have with our community means everything to me. Your support allows us to continue doing what we love and make a difference in the fashion world. Remember, every piece you choose from Sabi The Label is not just a garment but a part of a shared journey. I hope it brings you as much joy as it brings me to create it.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know a little more about me and my world. I’m excited to continue this journey with you and see where it takes us.
With all my best,
Mon xx
