From Dental Students to Million-Dollar Entrepreneurs - How Australian Brothers' Leather Goods Startup Went From Zero to Millions Within a Few Months of Launching

GOLD COAST, Australia, August 28, 2019 (Newswire.com) - While most trained dentists are working long hours in surgeries and clinics, the Sabre brothers are managing their multi-million dollar startup venture of personalized, monogrammed leather goods. 

Zane, originally from New Zealand, was in his third year of studying dentistry in Australia when the pair's father was diagnosed with cancer. Immediately, he and Omar knew that they would be responsible for their own finances, including Zane’s $60K per year university tuition fees. 

After a year of research, product development and building an audience on Instagram, they launched their first product. It was an iconic leather phone case. MAISON de SABRÉ snowballed from there.

Within the same financial year, the brothers made their first million. Zane was 23 at the time and a full-time university student, while Omar, 26, was still in New Zealand, working full time. Zane moved into a three-bedroom townhouse on his own so that he could use the extra rooms to run the business. 

"I remember waking up at 4 a.m. every morning to start dispatching orders before I had to go to the clinic to see my patients at 8 a.m. I would come back home at 3 p.m. then work until 1-2 a.m. each day," says Zane.

The pair used their creativity and family resources to keep up with a business that was spiraling into extreme success. "We convinced our mum to temporarily move from New Zealand and live in the townhouse while I was on my final university placement, seeing patients from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. every day," explains Zane. "She was working to dispatch orders and monitoring the office girls, as well as making epic lunches for everyone. The office room was the dispatch area, the spare bedroom was the office and had two customer care and social staff working out of there. The dining room table was where we would have our strategy meetings."

Fast forward to now, MAISON de SABRÉ is operating from a brand new headquarters on the Gold Coast, employs 16 staff and ships over 400 orders worldwide every day. The brothers have paid off all of Zane’s university fees, financially support both their parents and quit their dental careers to work full time in their multi-million dollar venture. 

The pair utilized social media from the very beginning of the venture and believe it greatly helped them to gain such quick success. MAISON de SABRÉ is moving at record speed and has a knack for being authentically relevant to their buyers by utilizing social media, knocking out big company competitors with ease. The brothers have their eyes locked on being the biggest supplier of monogrammed leather goods in the world.
