“There is a spirit to what we do—driven by a desire to create a real connection between a person and their clothes. When cut and materia
l are right, that connection carries a sense of power and conviction—you feel it the moment you put it on. We achieve this through our commitment to exceptional leather and suede craftsmanship, and an obsession with cut and fit.”—Founder and Creative Director Savannah Yarborough
The foundation of Savas is rooted in classic American menswear, coupled with the precise rigor of English tailoring—an influence shaped by Yarborough’s education at Central Saint Martins in London. Her approach centers on elevated materials, intentional construction, and the creation of pieces that feel uncompromising and built to last. Savas offers a range of men’s outerwear and accessories, emphasizing iconic silhouettes through exceptional detail and texture. Elements of the menswear collection are also translated into a focused capsule of womenswear outerwear and footwear. Collections are produced in limited quantities with a distinctly handmade feel, using high-quality Italian leathers and suedes selected for their character, depth, and longevity—materials chosen not only for how they look, but for how they wear over time. Working closely with a third-generation tannery in Italy, Savas develops leathers exclusively for the brand. From full-grain, triple-dyed lambskin to softly sanded nubuck, each material is selected to reinforce a sense of function, durability, and character. Initially introduced as a bespoke offering, Savas expanded into ready-to-wear using the refined fit established in its earliest work. Signature styles include the sartorial Nicholas jacket, the Western-inspired Legend jacket, and the Lowry shirt jacket for everyday wear, alongside a growing accessories offering anchored by footwear. The Legend boot, a pull-on style finished with a brass back zip, has become a cornerstone of the Savas wardrobe. Savas operates a flagship retail shop in Nashville and is carried by a select group of global luxury retail partners. At its core, Savas is about making things that are collectable and last. Grounded yet creative, refined yet raw, the brand speaks to the individual who values material, fit, and style that defies eras.
