STORY

My name is Sarah van Ours, an Amsterdam-based fashion designer with over ten years of experience bringing ideas to life through collection storytelling. From first sketch to final product, I combine creativity, technical expertise, and market knowledge to create designs that connect with both brands and their customers.

Design is about more than creating something beautiful. Through attention to detail and balancing quality with functionality, each design develops its own distinct character while contributing to a cohesive story. Whether developing tailored suits or heritage foundation pieces, I guide each stage with dedication and a clear purpose.
