Celebrating the SABEN X Marcia Collaboration at Bondi Icebergs   To celebrate the launch of the SABEN X Marcia collaboration, our creative director, Roanne Jacobson, teamed up with Marcia Leone (Not so Mumsy Author and Entrepreneur) to host an exclusive breakfast at the iconic Icebergs in Bondi. Editors and friends of the brand got the first look (and hands-on experience!) with the stunning Marcia Mini Bag.   Guests had a chance to explore their own creativity, personalising their bags with fun charms, chains, and straps. A special thank you to Jemima Fallows from Puddleduck Agency, Lauren Woolf from Mrs Woolf, Emily Devereux and team from Chic Management, Danielli Sarich, our incredible SABEN Australia sales and marketing agent, and charlotte stokes, who styled the event so beautifully.

As Mother's Day approaches, I find myself reflecting on the profound impact of motherhood, not just in my personal life as Mum to two boys, but also within the fabric of SABEN. Motherhood, to me, is more than just a biological relationship; it's a philosophy, a mindset, and a source of inspiration for female leadership and mentorship in business. At SABEN, we celebrate Mother's Day actively every year because we recognise that motherhood transcends bloodlines. It's about nurturing, guiding, and empowering those around us, whether they're our children, colleagues, or friends. Motherhood is about fostering a community of support, understanding, and love—a community that SABEN is proud to be a part of. As a brand built for women, by women, as a team, we understand and celebrate the strength, resilience, and unwavering determination of mothers, of women,  everywhere. In the world of business, motherhood teaches us invaluable lessons about leadership, empathy, and collaboration. It reminds us to lead with compassion, to listen with an open heart, and to uplift those around us. As female leaders, we have a responsibility to mentor and support the next generation of women, guiding them on their own journey to success. 💖🌷 #Motherhood #FemaleLeadership #Mentorship #MothersDay #SABEN

“We need to know the story the numbers are telling us. Remember that revenue is vanity, profit is sanity and cash flow is reality” - Elizabeth Wotherspoon, CEO of The Icehouse.    A common theme on the EmpowHER event panel and something The Icehouse highlights on their programmes is the importance of knowing your numbers. It’s something that can’t be ignored. Although not always a natural passion, it’s the lifeblood of your business.     After hearing this loud and clear at the event, the team at Frank Accounting put their hands up to help. In addition to the free spot on The Icehouse’s Financial Workshop, Frank Accounting will provide two 1:1 sessions worth $3500 collectively, to review the financial function and goals aligned with the business of the overall and start-up winners!   An offer to empower financial confidence in these female-led businesses! Details in the T&Cs.  Applications close on Monday. Apply here – www.empowher.co.nz SABEN Dermalogica Rise & Shine PR Roanne Jacobson
