Sarah Marsden is the founder and creative mind behind Stessa by Sarah. Based in Berkshire, United Kingdom, she is a mother of two and has always had a deep love for fashion and beautifully designed footwear. She also holds a strong belief that every woman should feel powerful, bold and confident.

After many years of dreaming about becoming a footwear designer, Sarah began the Stessa journey at the age of 42. The idea was sparked while preparing for a wedding, when she struggled to find the perfect handbag to wear with her shoes. That moment inspired a simple but powerful concept: a collection of shoes and handbags designed to be worn together.

Sarah believes deeply that it is never too late to pursue your dreams and that life’s challenges can be transformed into purpose.

Now at 44, she has brought her vision to life through Stessa by Sarah, a brand that celebrates confidence, femininity and timeless glamour.
