Savuti Style is a woman-led Canadian brand specializing in modern African decor and accessories. The company curates a selection of ethically sourced, handcrafted items, including textiles, jewelry, and home goods, directly from African artisans. Emphasizing quality and sustainability, Savuti Style ensures that each piece reflects authentic craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.
Founder Colette Leier's deep connection to South Africa stems from her time living and working there for over five years after university. Her experiences inspired her to support African arts and microenterprises. Since 1999, she has traveled to Africa to collaborate with artisans, learning their stories and co-creating custom designs. This personal journey fuels Savuti Style's mission to bridge African heritage with global aesthetics.
Savuti Style is committed to empowering women, with 80% of its products made by female artisans. The brand focuses on sustainability, ensuring fair wages, carbon offsetting, and the use of organic materials. By personally connecting with each maker, Savuti Style guarantees authentic craftsmanship and contributes to the financial independence of its creators.
