Our story
In 2019, Clémentine created Sauvages, a brand based in Paris with a clear vision : to craft iconic, timeless and enduring pieces. Launched in 2020 the collections begins with a specific focus on the hat, a true life companion that transcends trends and eras.
The brand particularly emphasizes sailors caps, an iconic piece with a distinctly Parisian flair. Over time Sauvages broadens its horizons by offering hats in felt and straw and now ventures into the world of jewelry.
Committed to Made in France, all creations are meticulously crafted in workshops labeled as "EPV" (Living Heritage Companies).
Clémentine a former designer for luxury brands in Paris promptly decides to relocate to Lisbon, Portugal, shortly after the brand's launch, while maintaining the french production of each piece in the collection.
Her ambition : to build a wardrobe of iconic accessories, composed of strong pieces that enhance the silhouette.
Philosophy
As a bold and casual accessory, the hat becomes a second skin, an essential element of a wardrobe that balances the silhouette.
We emphasize style and we bypass trends, to favour the look and attitude.
Sauvages draws inspiration from the aesthetics and music of the late 1970s punk movement. Each piece is named as a tribute to icons of this movement and personalities with unique styles (Sid Vicious, Joe Strummer, Debbie Harry..)
NO SEASON - NO COLLECTION - NO OVERPRODUCTION.
We aim to create a library of products, that are always edgy and fashionable and therefore break away from the traditional fashion calendar, offering a wide range of timeless pieces.
Manifesto
Local sourcing and respect of the environment are our top priorities. All our pieces are made in France in partnership with ‘EPV’-labelled companies (“Living Heritage Companies”). We take pride in sourcing high-quality materials and paying great attention to every manufacturing detail.
Our fabrics mainly come from France, Italy and Portugal.
Our leathers and felts come exclusively from suppliers who have high standards of production, with transparent and traceable materials, which come from the waste of the food industry.
Our leathers go through an ecological tanning process and are guaranteed chemical-free. Our felts have the Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certificate*
Our straws come from Ecuador, as straw has a historical significance in this country. Every straw braid is hand-woven by artisans and then shipped to France, where the Panama hats are shaped.
As for our jewelry, our pieces are crafted in Paris from brass and upon request, in gold or 925 silver. We combine technology through 3D modeling of the jewelry and meticulous craftsmanship in creating mock-ups and hand-finishing.
NO SEASON - NO COLLECTION - NO OVERPRODUCTION.
