AS FOUNDER AND designer AT ooobaby luxe handbags, Tulin Sallabank has built a brand rooted in the belief that luxury should be both beautiful and practical. Each piece is designed to move seamlessly through a busy day, offering understated elegance without compromising function.
“Choose work you genuinely love. Not because it’s easy but because it makes even the hard days feel meaningful”
Almost a decade after founding her company, she remains deeply hands-on, collaborating closely with a small atelier in Italy to ensure every detail reflects her commitment to quality and intention. “I founded ooobaby luxe handbags out of necessity,” she says. “Frustrated by the lack of handbags that balanced affordable luxury with real life function, I stopped searching and started designing. ooobaby luxe handbags grew from initial sketches into a partnership with the perfect generational atelier in Italy.”
In an era dominated by fast fashion, she has chosen a different path. Competing against mass production has reinforced her dedication to slow craftsmanship, where quality and authenticity take precedence over speed. “I don’t focus on chasing trends,” she says. “The goal is not to be everywhere, but to be meaningful to the woman who chooses us.”
