We design and make eco-conscious accessories that showcase your houseplants, prioritising style while protecting your greenery.

I’ve had the pleasure of creating collections of planters for a range of retailers, both on the high street, and online. Sarora Knots has also been featured in publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Stylist, BBC Good Food, and Bustle to name a few.

I am constantly striving to create interesting products that are bursting with colour, thoughtfully made, and that you will love in your home for years to come.

The name

‘Sarora’ is a nickname my parents have called me since I was little. It’s really comforting and familiar to me, and it’s a constant reminder of all the support they have shown me and my brand. ‘Knots’ naturally came after it, as I use a lot of traditional macrame techniques to make my planters. Experimenting with these knots have over time formed the Sarora Knots signature style.

Meet the maker

I’m Sara, 26 and the hands behind Sarora Knots. My brand began on Depop in the summer of 2016, just after I’d graduated university and moved back home. In an attempt to make my empty room at my parents feel like home again, I was on the search for some plant hangers to bring the space to life. I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for, so I did a bit of research into materials, and decided to make my own. 5 years, and a lot of experimenting later, Sarora Knots has blossomed into something I could never have dreamed of. Running my business has remained a constant source of creativity and happiness in my life, and it still brings me so much joy that hundreds of people across the world have something I have made, hanging up in their home! My designs have reached all corners of the globe from California, U.S to Tokyo, Japan and I’m forever grateful to my customers for choosing Sarora Knots.

Sarora Knots is a small independent homeware brand founded by me, Sara Al Bander. The brand was born out of my love for plants, experimenting with colour, and retro home styles. All the hanging planters you see are handmade by me from start to finish, making no two the same, and all equally as special.

I started Sarora Knots with a focus on bold and playful design. I hand pick all the colours and make the plant hangers in small batch collections. The range of planters I offer all have a few things in common: high quality recycled fabrics, functionality, and bright tones. A lot of my statement designs are created after a fun process of collating inspiration from places like 80’s retro magazines, or thrifted homewares, and then brought to life in my home studio.
