Fame and celebrity

The founder of Saturday House was a university student when she customised her first bag, only for it to catch on with her friends – as a celebrity stylist, she’s worked with John Singleton and T-Pain

Saturday House founder Sonique Saturday welcomed the New Year by sharing a photo on Instagram of her and Taylor Swift embracing in matching sparkling dresses.

The image was seemingly a throwback to a private New Year’s Eve party in Kansas City that took place a year previously.

“Happy New Year Twins,” Saturday captioned the throwback photo. Fans immediately poured in to ask for a “T Swift collab bag”.

For those not in the know, Saturday House is a fashion and art brand known for its fake Hermès Birkin bags with phrases such as “You Fake Like This Birkin” written on them.

Here’s everything to know about Taylor Swift’s “twin” and entrepreneur bestie, Sonique Saturday.

Creating her custom bags

When Sonique Saturday created her very first customised bag, she didn’t do it with the intention of starting a business. She was simply a college student who wanted to flaunt her own style.

It was when her schoolmates began to ask where she got her bags that Saturday realised she could make something out of herself.

In 2014, she launched Saturday House, a brand that sells high-quality Birkin dupes that are all hand-painted and custom-crafted.
