The story of Sagaza begins with the fashion passion of a Turkish woman who set out to explore the mysterious and art-filled streets of Andalusia in southern Spain. One of the founders of the brand and its current head designer, Zelia Kaçar, continued her academic career in Madrid. While working on her graduation thesis at Instituto Europeo di Design, one of the leading fashion schools, she had the opportunity to work as an assistant to the renowned fashion designer Antonio Alvarado. She later worked as a design assistant for the brand Loewe.
