About Sabana
Established in London in 1959, Sabona of London was founded by French nobleman Vicomte Jacques d'Orthez and his wife, actress Moira Leister, after they discovered during their travels in Africa that copper was not just an ornament but a metal with genuine health benefits. The name Sabona comes from the Zulu greeting "Sawubona," meaning "I see you" — a fitting origin for a brand dedicated to wellness and wellbeing.
Sabona quickly became the height of fashion, worn by the British Royal Family, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Coco Chanel, and countless sporting legends. With over 12 million bracelets sold worldwide, Sabona is the world's most trusted copper and magnetic bangle brand. The iconic designs were created by renowned London jeweller David Morris, famous for his diamond work on the James Bond film "Diamonds Are Forever." Today, Sabona continues to offer riders and athletes a natural way to support circulation and recovery through beautifully crafted copper and magnetic jewellery.
