About us
A boutique for the modern, conscious consumer
Where it began
Sattva started by a belief in the world-changing potential of conscious consumerism.
“I’m fascinated by the relationship between design, comfort and sustainability - and the way that combination creates an experience for the consumer.” S.A.
In 2017 founder Sarah Andrews recognized a disconect in the market place and began curating clothing that reflected this fascination. First with a series of Pop Up shops, next with an online store, 6 months later Sattva opened a Boutique at 2453 Agricola st. in Halifax.
“The more connection the user has to the object, the more enjoyment they will get out of using it. Not just clothing, you can apply that to anything, like your favorite coffee cup.” S.A
Sattva is a Sanskrit word for an intangible experience of wholeness, balance and truth. It is a state of mind that feels light, clear, connected and content — and it’s how founder Sarah wants you to feel when you walk into Sattva boutique.
Our approach to style
The place where beauty, comfort, and purpose collide.
Many of the pieces you’ll find in store appeal to Mother and Daughter alike. We believe in high quality basics and elevated classics – comfortable pieces that can be worn from day to night or from the office to the market.
To help showcase your personal style, we’re always adding on-trend, seasonal pieces that can be paired with the classic, timeless styles Sattva has become known for over the years.
Our highly trained stylists are here to help you find what you need and explore what you didn’t know you wanted.
Above all, we believe if it feels good, you’ll look good. That confidence on your face when you step out of the change room is how we’ll know that piece is right for you.
A favorite shopping destination for women of all ages who enjoy stylish, modern, high quality and socially aware products. Whether a gift to yourself or a loved one - we have something in store for everyone.
How we've grown
Sattva’s shop is located in one of Halifax’s best neighborhoods, the North End Halifax. Situated amongst vibrant independent businesses and mixed residential.
Since it’s first pop up in 2017 Sattva has incubated its own in-house line, Sattva by Sarah and opened a sister store Another Shop in Queen’s Marque on the Halifax waterfront.
Together, our wish is for
each woman to enjoy the daily ritual of getting dressed.
Sarah Bannerman Andrews
Founder + Designer of Sattva by Sarah
I have a passion for all things that enhance the quality of life. Thoughtful design of all kinds, clothes that make me feel good, and the privilege to share these products and their stories with others.
I love my role at Sattva because it gives me the opportunity to make positive change. I value that each day is unique, and that I am always learning. Sattva and its people are constantly evolving; I'm both motivated and satisfied by that growth.
I’m happy knowing we enrich the lives of our clients by bringing well designed, ethical, quality pieces into their homes. Above all I enjoy spending my days amongst strong, beautiful inspired women.
Lauren Chinery
General Manager
My personal style is inspired by vintage fashion with a modern touch. I have collected most of my wardrobe from pre-loved stores over many years, so I like to incorporate something old with something new when putting an outfit together. My style changes day-to-day, but a few wardrobe essentials for me are button-down blouses, leather jackets & pleated skirts.
Sattva and Another Shop have given me the opportunity to feel a part of something bigger within our community. My position has evolved over time and is always opening doors to pursue my passion for sustainable fashion, styling and helping others. I feel grateful to work in an environment that aligns with my personal values and cultivates creativity.

For me, a sustainable lifestyle creates a balance in my everyday life, from shopping at local food markets to wearing ethical fashion. I like to keep things simple and natural, fashion included.
I love the creative flexibility Sattva offers, and how it enables me to combine my love for the environment with work, through our sustainably focused brands. My role is constantly evolving which allows me to grow personally and professionally. I value being a part of our community as a small business, and working alongside empowering and inspiring people.
