My name is Mickey Ashmore. I’m often referred to as the Sabah Dealer.
I started Sabah out of my apartment in the East Village in New York City. I
didn’t have a plan, or any fundraising, just several boxes of handmade shoes
I loved and a desire to chart my own course.
I’m proud of what Sabah has become — a successful, small business, with various Sabah Houses locations from San Francisco to London and our Sabah Workshops – in Gaziantep, Turkey and El Paso, Texas.
Over the years we have outgrown my home office and our original Turkish
workshop and now operate out of a proper office in New York City as well as
a new workshop in Gaziantep with a team of nearly 70 and a smaller design
studio & workshop in El Paso, Texas with a team of 12.
That growth is inspiring, but I am most proud of the things that have stayed
the same: our independent spirit, our commitment to quality craft over
quantity, our genuine enthusiasm for hosting customers , and our long-term
thinking to deliver high value, be generous and uplift those that we
encounter and work with.
However you found us, we offer you a warm welcome... and a bit more about
our Sabah story!
