Brought together by Purpose: meet Sara Mardini, new member of the SEP Team
Posted on July 19 2024
We like happy-endings. We like "doers". We like human rights. We believe in the power of energetic, honest, sincere human beings to make a difference by helping out those in need.
We are sad that this world needs heroes: the existence of heroes requires villains, by definition.
At SEP, we are fortunate to work with hundreds of heroes, first among them the SEP Artists, a never-ending source of inspiration to all SEPPERS. And today, a new hero joins the family.
Sara Mardini is first of all a very cool girl, who has a huge amount of energy and carisma and who happened to save and change countless lives as of when with her sister Yusra she decided to risk everything and embark on a trip from Syria to Europe, to leave behind the war which was raging in their home country, Syria.
Today Sara, who has worked with NGOs and as a humanitarian, search and rescue swimmer and human rights activist ever since she got to Europe, decided to join the SEP Team, because she believes in the power of business to be a force for good and an engine of change and because she loves the Art in our pieces and she can feel the energy of the SEP Artists in every piece we make.
Sara is now based in Berlin (for the "full story" you should watch the biographical sports drama film, The Swimmers, on Netflix as well as documentary Sara Mardini: Gegen den Strom "Against the Current") and is joining our Berlin team in our Prenzlauer Berg boutique: an extra-ordinary boutique like all our stores, where we make great encounters and change the perception of refugees, one stitch at a time.
Delighted to have Sara on board, happy to work together to develop further our Meaningful Fashion brand, come say hello in Choriner Strasse 59, next time u are in town!
