of Savanna, drew inspiration from her cultural roots to create pieces that honor her diverse background and environment. Each piece in this collection is a testament to the brand’s core values of environmental consciousness and ethical fashion.
Through Savanna’s global fabric sourcing, including rare handwoven textiles from artisans in West Africa, Central Asia and Southeast Asia, the collection showcases traditional craftsmanship while promoting sustainable practices. Eliane Sarr’s vision for this collection reinforces the importance of reconnecting with traditional artistry, community-driven sourcing, and cultural heritage, all essential elements in today’s fast-paced fashion industry.
