For years people have asked me why
I haven‟t created my own brand of
lifestyle products. At first I was
flattered. Yet the idea of brand „Sarah‟
intrigued me – so much so that in
2007 I founded my own
company, Hartmoor, LLC.

Hartmoor was conceived as creative
studio for developing
original, innovative lifestyle products
that appeal to women.

My brand doesn‟t aim to be fancy. Our
mission is bring out products that are
practical, affordable, and a
wonderfully different. – always with a
special twist.

Hartmoor itself is special because it
operates on the principle of
„compassionate commerce.‟ That is
when we success in business we
automatically share part of our profits
through charitable giving.
