   Buckets was part of the Limited Editions by Saben collection. The new design, which premièred at L’Oréal New Zealand Fashion Week, comes in various fabrics but in the Limited Edition collection, Jacobson created a series from natural wood veneer, available strictly from her exhibition at Eon, an innovative café–design retail store in Auckland.
   Eon not only has Jacobson's work but designer products, in an environment which allows customers to relax and appreciate good design, rather than be confronted with the hard sell.
   Another custom Jacobson technique for the Limited Editions is her use of poker-work. This is similar to cuerro gofrado, but the surface is burned with the design in the same principle as a branding iron, potentially resulting in complex patterns. Each Limited Edition bag is, therefore, unique.
   Since she founded Saben in 1999, Jacobson has carved out a niche for the label as New Zealand’s top accessories brand. Saben is now stocked in over 30 outlets throughout Australasia. •
