About us

 

Hello and welcome to our online shop!

My name is Triana, and I’m a proud South African now living in Dubai. My expat journey began in Singapore, where I spent seven wonderful years before moving to Dubai at the end of 2020.

What started as a simple idea—to share my favorite South African products with friends here in Dubai and across the Middle East—has grown into the business you see today. And now, we’re thrilled to be shipping worldwide!

So, why the name SAM?
It’s an acronym with a double meaning:
  1. Sadie And Macie – my two beautiful daughters.
  2. South African Made – because that’s at the heart of what we do.
We are especially proud of our exclusive range of Handmade Leather Sandals & Belts, crafted in my hometown of Durban by the incredible mother-and-daughter duo behind BlueBerry Blush. Their attention to detail is impeccable.   I’ve always adored their work and love that it’s a women-led brand.

We’re also delighted to carry Lou Harvey Bags & Accessories, a much-loved South African brand that has been creating stylish, durable, and easy-to-clean accessories for over 20 years. Inspired by Lou’s own search for practical yet fabulous designs, her products have become a staple in many households—including mine!

Thank you for stopping by. I can’t wait for you to discover and fall in love with these special South African treasures, just as I have.
