About Us
Welcome to Fashion by Sarah Lonergan.
I’m Sarah, mum to these two little beauties and wife to my amazing husband Clint. I honestly couldn’t wish for a more supportive, encouraging man by my side. They are the driving force behind everything I do.
I was furloughed at the start of the pandemic which gave me time to think about my life. The juggle of work and raising two small children was hard. So I took a gamble and started selling a few seasonal accessories from home and I’m so happy to be able to say this is now my full time job. I am so grateful to be able to work from home and raise my children.
Since being draped a spring a few years ago I have a real passion for colour. I love putting colours together. I pride myself on offering great quality seasonal accessories at affordable prices.
I have been overwhelmed at the support from you lovely people. I really am a small business, it’s just me! Your support fills me with pride and happiness.
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for lots of extra content and pictures of my wonderful customers wearing their lovely purchases.
Thank you for stopping by.

Our Aim
Nephele is here to change your perception of sustainability, creating beautiful leather handbags, whilst reducing waste. All the bags are one offs and completely unique to you!
Sustainability and Fair Trade
Each bag is hand-crafted using eye-catching pieces of leather offcuts destined for landfill. Partnering with a fair-trade company that make our bags in India, we help support over 80 families whilst continuing to reduce waste. Skilled craftsmen and women create beautiful and individual pieces.
About the bags
What is the printed part of the bags made from?
The Nephele bags are made from leather, the printed sections of the bags are hair on leather, it is painted to resemble animal prints.
How is leather sustainable and eco-friendly?
We use leather that is left over from the large manufacturers that would usually go to landfill, we aim to use every little scrap to create beautiful and unique accessories and reduce waste in the process. The leather used is a by-product of the food industry.
