I ordered an amazing wallpaper called Aqua from Sarza for my owners suite bathroom. I contacted them, gave them the details of my project and they quickly sent me an invoice. It was very easy to place my order and get the ball rolling. Soon after my order was placed, maybe a day or two, I was contacted by the manufacturer in South Africa and they sent me proofs of the design to be sure it was scaled to my space in the way that I wanted it. The digital proofs were very helpful because I could see exactly how the design would wrap around my space and how large the pattern would be on the walls. Had I wanted to make any changes, they would have changed it, but I thought it looked great. My gorgeous wallpaper was then created and flown to the USA via courier from South Africa. I think it was delivered to my home in less than a week, much to my amazement. There were instructions on how to do the installation with the roll of paper, but I had the installation done by a professional because the paper was so precious. The quality of the wallpaper was unbelievable. The product was thick and durable and since it is in a space with water nearby the surface felt waterproof, like plastic coated. It is very durable and will be easy to wipe down if I get it dirty. The colors and quality are excellent.I found Sarza to be very easy to work with. They were responsive and made the process so easy. I liked that I had some control over how big the pattern would be in my space and that, from start to finish, my wallpaper was delivered to me in less than two weeks after starting the process. I love my wallpaper and will do business with Sarza again.
I absolutely love every item I’ve purchased here! They are amazing and so very helpful. Not only do they have unique pieces but also impeccable taste in suggesting what will work on your space!
We love our Boma napkins. I purchased 4 at first. We loved them and then purchased another 4. They wash beautifully and have a wonderful hand - there is heft to them but a delicacy of texture as well. Then can be ironed crisp or left naturally. They add a bold welcoming statement to the table.
I LOVE this shop. Once u enter thru the front door ur eyes work double time to take in all they offer. I travel an hr from Ct with anticipation knowing I’ll find things I can’t find anywhere else. Sarah managed to fill the void somewhere between artisan/tribal and elegant. Thanks for bringing pieces of South Africa to us and working with all the many talents there👍
I ordered custom wallpaper and the owner responded immediately to guide me to the right product for my home. He made it entire process simple and my order was in much quicker than expected. I will definitely work with them again!
Great service on both purchase occasions from John. So helpful. So patient and professional. Highly recommend.
I found Sarza through an online add. I was drawn to the company because of its unique product line. I’m a hippo fan. I especially loved their hippo containers. I think the hippo container I bought is beautifully crafted, nice details, and unique. The piece arrived thoughtfully packaged and communication with Sarza was great.
Such beautiful product. The service was amazing from the ease of website navigation, quick response to answer the phone, call back, perfect packing of the product. I just cant say enough about how please I am! Thank you :)
This was the last place I expected to find beautiful and creative wallpaper, but after doing extensive research, it turned out to be just that. I was sent good size samples of all the paper I was interested in, in a timely manner and the samples came wrapped in lovely tissue. Now my only problem is which one to choose because I love them all.
Love the style! Using their wonderful wallpaper at my client’s house. Sarah, is great 😊
In love with this beautiful clutch bag!Nicely packaged & great service too!Thank you so much!
I am thrilled that I happened upon Sarza on social media. We purchased the large Malawi Round Mirror, which is actually a beautiful work of art too. The piece is truly unique as it is handmade by artisans in Malawi using century old techniques and craftsmanship. The piece looks wonderful pared with our midcentury furnishings and art. Sarzas customer service is exceptional. We received the piece in perfect condition in only a few days after ordering it. John from Sarza checked in with me to make sure we were happy with the purchase, which is above and beyond. Sarza curates the most beautiful and unique handmade items and I look forward to shopping with them again soon. A wonderful place to look for unique gifts too. I highly recommend them if you are weary of the same old mass produced items.
We recently bought two bronze antelopes made in Nigeria. They are gorgeous and compliment our family room beautifully. Sarah gave us the hhistory of the Edo people who made the sculptures and offered them to us at a very reasonable price. She is a delight and the store has a unique collection that would add enormously to any house. i strongly urge everyone to visit and experience Sarza for yourself.
Sarza provides simple and useful decor that is meaningful. It’s the perfect boutique to shop when adding elements of style to a space inside a home.
Its always exciting to step into Sarza and enter a world of unique and tastefully curated finds from South Africa. I love the textiles, ceramics, furniture and jewelry among its many treasures. Sara and her husband are both extremely friendly and helpful. Sara herself delivered a stunning mirror I purchased and helped me find someone to install it in time for my overseas guests visit. I never go to Rye without stopping in.
We love our hippo. ❤. He has such charm. He sits upon our mantel and reminds us of our adventures with our family while in South Africa !
I love Sarza for home decor and gifts! Over the years Sarah and John have helped me in so many ways in the shop. Whether picking out a teacher or birthday gift or selecting wallpaper and other home accents, shopping at Sarza is so much fun! I used a wallpaper for my powder room and they couldn’t have been more helpful in sourcing and getting it hung properly and when I chose a mirror to go with it John came and hung it by himself. Can’t say enough great things about Sarza!
I knew after stepping foot into Sarza one time, that I wanted to get my bathroom wallpaper from them! Their ability to tap into a collection all the way from South Africa was exactly what I was looking for. The variety of designs that I had at my fingertips was so valuable when renovating my home. They worked with me on the exact specs of the room and was able to get the wallpaper in a speedy manner. Thanks Sarza, and I definitely recommend this store for home decor and more!
We recently purchased 3 different tables from Sarza. They are beautiful! And such unique pieces. John and Sarah were very responsive to any questions I had. I would definitely purchase from Sarza again.
Lovely linen napkins for my Thanksgiving table. A pleasurable experience!
Just received! Absolutely 🖤🖤🖤🖤 everything ‼️💯💯👏🏾👏🏾The quality is exceptional and now I understand your price point regarding the pillows! Thank you so very much!Can’t wait for the prints!!!
I stumbled upon this store after moving to Rye from the Midwest and... wow! their inventory is so beautiful and unique. The customer service was amazing (very informative about their products without pressure) and the backstories to the items are inspiring. their focus on sustainability and sourcing from collectives in South Africa that give back to their local communities definitely makes me want to shop there again. Thank you!
It was a total pleasure working with Sarah! I found a beautiful custom rug, but I could have taken the whole shop home with me! Even the earrings! Love!
Sarza is a beautiful store filled with beautiful and practical items from South Africa. Stop in and see Sara who is lovely and has an incredible eye for design and pretty things. You wont be disappointed.
Great to work with! My picture arrived well packaged and protected. Love their unique pieces.
I received my upside down ostrich and I love it. It arrived very quickly,
I recently purchased three of Jackie Wild’s beautiful oversized African oversized framed photos from Sarza. I couldn’t be happier with them! They look even nicer in person if that even seems possible. I highly recommend these to anyone. And the service from both Jackie and Sara was exceptional! Great job, folks!
Sarzas products are so unique. I love using them in my design as they add a touch of uniqueness. And their customer service is the BEST !
Well. IG photos look awesome. As a designer, I am used to getting free samples to show my clients that are usually good sized and often show a repeat. The two samples I ordered [$5 each] took quite awhile to receive and were about 9 x 7. Even if they had arrived in time for my meeting I probably would not have shown them as they were so small and the colors were not nearly as vibrant in person as portrayed on IG. This is probably a better product for a dyi client as opposed to a high end client working with a designer....it was the scale that really intrigued me. I understand that your papers are scaled to the size of the wall but I couldnt even inspire excitement via the small samples.I tried.
Really love the Mungo dishtowels that I ordered! They are beautiful, high quality, and shipped very quickly
Wallpaper samples did not disappoint! They are thick and color saturated. Cant decide yet which one I want.
Love my David Ballam Wall Art and love the things in this store. So wonderful and unique!
I bought 2 large prints of the D. Ballam collection...no website can do these prints justice as they are absolutely amazing in person!! I’m extremely excited to finally have these hanging on my walls and will definitely purchase more from Sarza in the future!! Thanks!!
When the package arrived I was so impressed by the personal note and the napkins wrapped so lovely. I love the napkins and tea towels. Quality of the weaving and fabric is beautiful. Thanks!
Hi! I ordered from Sara’s over the phone and received the best interest and care! Love the products -so interesting and creative! Thanks!
I really appreciate small companies with carefully sourced products and helpful customer service, and I also appreciate if the products are handmade in places far away--so that they bring a little hint of somewhere else in the world into my very own home. I bought the Boma napkins as table top cloths, and so far they look just like the pictures; they have exquisite color combinations, a soft obviously 100% cotton touch, and a hearken of artisanal craft and patterns a world away, in Africa. Thank you, Sarza Store!
A great experience shopping at this store, albeit virtually.The team at Sarza was responsive, proactive, items were delivered as scheduled and they arrived carefully packaged.Quality items at a great price.Ill definitely be a repeat Customer.
I ordered a necklace. It arrived incredibly quickly, was packaged beautifully, had a handwritten thank you note and is gorgeous. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments already.
SARZA is an amazing store with beautiful, special and unique furniture, home goods, jewelry, accessories and so much more....all from South Africa where the very friendly and helpful owner, Sarah, was born and raised. I love the fun island frond wallpaper I got there for my powder room. A must visit!
Excellent communication! Really appreciate the help in getting samples to check out and making the sample return process super easy.
We absolutely fell in LOVE with Sarza when we moved to Rye, and have begun to incorporate different parts of their gorgeous collection throughout our new home…it makes me smile every time we walk in the door! Thank you Sarah and John!
Purchased two african shields - both arrived super fast and very well packaged. The personal note is a nice touch. Thank you!
Beautiful shop, unique quality inventory, and excellent customer service. 5 stars!
Sarza is a needle in a haystack, of selections you won’t and can’t find anywhere locally or domestically. I absolutely love sourcing artwork and furniture here for my clients and the owners are top notch.
My ordering experience was simply AMAZING! I was somewhat leary about making a major purchase with a company that I had never heard of but after researching and messaging the folks at Sarza I felt more comfortable making the purchase that I did. When I tell you from start to finish there was not a time that I did not inquire about my purchase that I did not receive a prompt, direct response about where the art would ship from, when they expected to receive it and how soon it would be shipped to me. Anytime I reached out the response was immediate. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with the art that I received and I look forward to doing business with Sarza again real soon.
Nicest people, quick response, always follow up. One of the nicest shops to deal with AND they have beautiful stuff!
Fantastic design and great quality!
I love shopping with Sarza. The owner is so sweet and accommodating. She went above and beyond when I wanted one of her products on my registry! All of their products are gorgeous. I am a loyal fan of the towels from MUNGO and will always buy through them!
Beautiful wallpaper, I will share once it’s up.
Im so happy the rabbit hole of the internet brought me to this online home goods haven! I saw a David Ballam picture at a an over-priced furniture store and fell in love...however i was not in love with the price. So I searched the web for the pic and the only seller I could find was Sarza...and I am SO glad I did. The price was much more reasonable and John, the owner, was an absolute joy to work with. I ordered the picture during the shutdown of...well..the world so it got held up in South Africa until they officially opened the borders. John was wonderful with updates about the movement of the product. When it finally arrived at his shop in Rye, he PERSONALLY drove it to my building in Manhattan and carried the substantially sized picture (70 x 50) up to my apt. He truly went above and beyond. I am absolutely obsessed with my picture. I look forward to future purchases from this amazing shop. Mainly because the customer service was so incredible 👌🏾
An oasis of beautiful accessories for the home. My go to place for gifts for friends, family and myself. Im a BIG Sarza fan!!!
My picture is gorgeous, a little pricey but worth it ;)
Words cannot express how impressed I have been with John and Sarahs professional advice and support as I selected one of their amazing pieces, an impressive Terra Planter. From initial point of contact until delivery, they kept in close contact about packing, delivery and followed the delivery process. I do not think I have ever experienced such careful attention to a purchase I have made from anyone I have purchased from before. I think what it is important for me to say is that Sarah and John not only have unique pieces but also take special interest in each customers needs and satisfaction. Bravo, you two. Peggy
Purchased wallpaper from this company and I have to say that there has been no better customer service that I have ever received! The quality of the product sent out to me was impeccable and looks amazing. John was awesome to work with and I would absolutely recommend shopping here. I can’t wait to make my next purchase from them!! #shopsmallbusiness
Sarza is one of those shops I simply must check into as often as possible. The selection of gorgeous furniture, homeware, jewelry, and apparel is always a delight. Sarah, the owner shares her knowledge of the South African makers and artists. Sarza is a special treat I give myself, and is the perfect place to select gifts for others as well!
Beautiful and unique home goods store in downtown Rye. The owners are very engaging and store is filled with wonderfully interesting and stylish items sourced from their native South Africa. Everything has a fascinating story behind it and the businesses all do good and serve to empower their makers. From affordable jewelry to large wall murals and lighting fixtures, I always enjoy visiting here and always find something I cant live without!
Absolutely love the napkins
I live in Wisconsin and we are renovating a 1946 stone ranch home. I saw this paper and immediately knew it was the right fit. I contacted John at Sarza and he was helpful and responsive and knowledgeable. Before long I had the Robin Sprong Botanical White Hessian ---perfectly sized for the wall! The house has a tiny powder room (44 inches x 100 inches)---small but mighty. I cant send a photo of the completed room yet. But I attached a photo while the paper hangers were working. The other three walls are going to all be this graywash beadboard, Gabby lighting Shirley gold sconces, Kohler Memoirs sink on polished chrome console legs....The wallpaper hangers were very impressed with the quality of the paper, the instructions, and also the precise measurements ---they have been hanging wallpaper for decades and are the only ones to use in our area so they know what they are talking about. So excited to complete this reno. Thank you John & Sarza. I grew up in New Canaan Ct so hopefully I will visit the store in person next high school reunion. Looks like you have beautiful products and the customer service was outstanding in my experience.
Such an incredible store. Unique, beautiful things and absolutely brilliant service. Will be back again and again.
I received my first order with Sarza and adore the items purchased! It can be unsettling ordering with a newly discovered online merchant, thank you for making the process painless and enjoyable! I will definitely at Sarza again!
I just love this store! It is beautiful, the owners and the service are fabulous and it gives me a chance to support South Africa. Every time Im in New York, SARZA is one of my first and favorite stops.
I love Sarza! Everything in the shop is beautiful, unique, lovely. Every time I give a friend a gift from Sarza, that friend will look delightedly at the gorgeous gift and I will feel happy and proud that I found something so perfect for my friend. It is really such a treasure of a shop.
My go-to for unique gifts! (often ones Im buying for myself:) Love all their beautiful items, and the delightful owners make the shopping experience a treat. Shop Local--you wont be disappointed.
Sarza is the store to go to for unique and beautifully crafted interior designs from South Africa. Thoughtfully curated, Sarza combines practicality with the beautiful and the unusual. The perfect place to shop for yourself, for a birthday or hostess gift.
What a gorgeous shop filled with unique and interesting products. A world away from the mundane and boring stuff we see in most retailers. So wonderful to know you are making a difference when you purchase one of Sarza’s products and supporting those who need it most. Run by an inspirational lady. Customer service was excellent.
Kindest most stylish store owners on the planet. Incredible contemporary design style with pieces sourced from and handcrafted in Africa. Everything you need from a hostess gift to a full home makeover. Couldnt recommend more highly.
What an amazing spot!!! If you are looking for a gift for a friend or something unique and interesting for yourself or your home, this is the place to get it. Sarah is absolutely wonderful and her curated goods are gorgeous. Definitely worth a visit.
Sarah is incredible. I was waiting for the Nguni Heads to be in stock in the ideal color. I called on short notice before the holidays, and the very same day they were retrieved from the warehouse and shipped across the country. The best part, they arrived on time and made an unforgettable gift. Thank you Sarah, it was a pleasure doing business with you.
Gorgeous selection of products. Lovely customer service. Love having this store in Rye!
Sarza is a place of ever changing style, beauty with an evolving and seasonal display of truly unique gifts for yourself, a friend or your home .The owner/ designer Sarah is super friendly, informative and wonderful to work with .This shop is a gem and I can’t wait to visit next !
Such a fabulous store! I’m obsessed with the jewelry but also lots of other great options if you’re looking for the perfect gift, whatever your budget. There are also wonderful and unusual items for the home including furniture, pillows, linens and amazing wallpaper! It’s a real treasure trove of goodies and the staff are super friendly and helpful too!
A beautiful shop with unique and interesting products, most with a heart-warming story behind them. Outstanding customer service too. Definitely the go-to store when youre looking for a special gift.
This shop has some of the most unique and interesting home decor and jewelry around. Anything bought here will be treasured for years!
Love this store! Amazing items for anyone and everyone (especially yourself!) all with a beautiful purpose and story. Cant recommend it enough!
I just love every detail of this exquisitely curated store. Perfect for gifts or updating your own interiors or just for some inspo.
Beautiful items and great customer service. Highly, highly recommended!
Sarzas unique product offering makes for incredible gifts that are unique and deeply personal. Theres no one in the US with her product array and the people she supports in Africa makes you feel good about giving. Five stars for service and they ship for me all over the US. The best resource I have for gifts and home decor. LOVE LOVE LOVE!
Most ravishing collection of considered design for living one will find in the US. A sharper eye for detail you will seldom find in the world of African-inspired decor. A MUST-visit store.
Beautiful shop, there are items in this store that you will not find anywhere else in North America
Very impressed with the prompt customer service from the Sarza Team. Ive only seen the store from the outside, but returned a gift for an exchange via the mail after Christmas with no problems and just took advantage of their Labor Day Sale via the email link. Im looking forward to actually going to the store in October when Im visiting the area.
What an amazing curated collection of contemporary African Furniture, Art and Decor. Each artisan represented has an amazing story with a focus on workmanship, small business support and social upliftment. A truly special store now with an online presence! And dont forget the amazing Robin Sprong Wallpapers!
What a fantastic shop! A little taste of Africa! The owner is fabulous! What a gem! best of luck to Sarza!
Sarza is a bright African gem in the heart. Of Rye, NY.Their inventory is masterfullly purchased and merchandised for a beautiful, eclectic selection of unique accent pieces for the home. A must see!
I am absolutely in love with the David Ballam art I bought through Sarza. It’s a large piece of art, over 6 feet tall so the scale is fantastic and hard to find. Especially for the price! I love the reclaimed wood frame and quality of the print. I bought several pieces for my beach house and for clients and everyone always loves them. So unique and have that black and white modern vibe that i love. It’s nerve wracking buying art through an online shop but Sarza has always provided me with impeccable customer service. They are great communicators and care about nurturing relationships with their clients in a way that is rare these days. Ania Dunlop, Designer at Home for Zen.
Such a refreshing store with wonderful bits and bobs for the home different to anything youll see in the US. Perfect place to pick up a gift and prices for everyones budget ranging from $8 (I bought table mats at $8 each) to mid-priced jewelry to wonderful, high-end ceramics in the hundreds of dollars. Love it!
What an amazing collection of extraordinary things in a beautiful oasis of a store!
Amazing store, unique products, beautiful store layout and super friendly, helpful staff - highly recommended
As a gift I was given placemats from SARZA and Im thrilled. We have a smaller round marble table at home and have looked endlessly for placemats that comfortably fit a plate but arent the usual larger sizes - so we can seat more guests. I promise Ive looked everywhere. So much so, a good friend knew it would make a perfect gift. It turns out we only needed to go to SARZA. What a great collection... and clearly very unique. If youre looking for homeware, however small, check it out.
Love, love. Love this store!!!
Nice staff :)
I’ve never had the opportunity to visit the store but the website is wonderful! I ordered some amazing wallpaper and John worked with me with every detail.Such creative, unique and beautiful merchandise.I wish we had a store like Sarza in Sarasota.
