Discover La Sarda Home, the homewares brand bringing sardinian culture to Australia

For La Sarda Home founder Giuliana Manca, Sardinian heritage has been part of her story since an early age, with her Sardinian father inspiring a passion and appreciation for the craftsmanship and traditions of the island. We speak with Giuliana to learn more about the inspiration behind the brand, and what you can expect when you bring a piece of Sardinia into your home..

As the visionary behind La Sarda Home, Giuliana has an unwavering connection to Sardinia, which shaped her early years and is now the driving force behind her work. “My childhood was spent between Scotland and Sardinia, and now with my base in Australia, I knew I wanted to showcase these incredibly unique pieces here,” Giuliana shares, “It’s so much more than just a product, La Sarda Home blends the stories and cultural signifi cance of such a special place – I knew this range would resonate here.” Spanning homewares, jewellery and even fragrance, La Sarda Home goes against the grain of quick consumerism, with Giuliana personally curating the range of products on offer, culminating in a brand that honours their values of ethically-sourced, sustainable and culturally signifi cant items that elevate the home.

“As La Sarda Home has grown and evolved, I’m so proud of every piece. Everything is handcrafted and handmade, sourced from female artisans and crafters on the island with traditional methods and techniques – there is nothing mass produced, and when you bring home a piece of Sardinian culture, you’ll feel the story and the history carried with it.” Bringing Mediterranean paradise to Australian homes, La Sarda Home features ceramics, pottery, candles and more, with striking designs that make every piece a focal point and conversation opportunity, something to be treasured and enjoyed. “I feel when we showcase the work of these talented Sardinian artisans, we’re introducing these creators to the world and giving them a voice, telling their story. We’re supporting the work of small towns and small villages, and they pour their energy and love into their work – it’s more than just a vase, it’s about welcoming this unique history and culture into your home.” A celebration of Sardinia, the magical Mediterranean island off the Italian coast, La Sarda Home captures the vibrancy of its sweeping coastlines, ancient traditions and breathtaking scenery – a go-to location for writers, artists and poets looking for inspiration, it’s certainly inspired Giuliana, who has seen her brand move from strength to strength as her Australian following grows. “Aussies are mindful about what they purchase and where their products come from – this desire for ethically-sourced, individual pieces that would last a lifetime has always been clear to me. I knew this way of curating my range would speak to the market here, and it’s been so affi rming to see our products celebrated and loved,” explains Giuliana. With this commitment to ethically-sourced wares, La Sarda Home ensures every piece is created, purchased and delivered to Australia in the most responsible, sustainable and ethical manner. “We recognise that we can be the difference in generating meaningful income for our makers and their families – everything comes from the island, and it’s so important to me that our processes remain authentic and committed to Sardinia.”

With such deep roots connecting her to Sardinia, Giuliana has been able to make an impact on the lives of Sardinian locals for years to come, with long-standing relationships with the artisans and creators of the island, offering them a chance to have their skills and stories amplifi ed on an international level.
