Description
A celebration of colour, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, the Sabie Kaftan is designed in Canada by Savuti and made in South Africa by Colours of a Kind a non profit organization.
Crafted from luxurious 100% cotton 300-thread-count percale and available in 3 colourways.
The stripe in blue and tan print incorporates a subtle distressed effect in order to soften the overall appearance and create a more relaxed aesthetic. This intentional finish gives the fabric a lived-in, sun-washed character, lending the garment an easy, casual elegance that feels equally at home, by the water, in the city, or at a summer gathering.
Designed with both comfort and style in mind, the kaftan features a relaxed silhouette, a generous 3-inch front pleat for movement and ease, and practical side pockets. The result is a piece that drapes beautifully while offering everyday functionality.
Please note that this style has a more tailored fit through the shoulders and bust. We recommend reviewing the garment measurements included in the photos to ensure your preferred fit.
Behind The Brand
Savuti strives to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, offering a carefully curated selection that reflects the rich heritage of African artistry while catering to the discerning tastes of well-travelled women seeking distinctive, sophisticated pieces.
Savuti hand-selects ethically sourced goods from Africa, personally getting to know each maker to ensure authentic craftsmanship. Empowering women by showcasing women’s work and providing outlets for their products, helps the creators to achieve financial independence and the ability to make choices. Each piece has a story to tell, whether it is a commitment to heritage technique, artisan communities or cultural storytelling, Savuti products embody refined craftsmanship, intentional design, and a timeless connection to culture.
Savuti founder Colette Leier found herself captivated by the rich tapestry of artistic traditions and the impeccable craftsmanship that permeated every corner of South Africa, where she had the opportunity to live and work after graduating from University. It was in the midst of this awe-inspiring environment that her love affair with sophisticated artisanal goods, infused with cultural heritage, was born. That experience inspired Colette to create a business centered on curating exceptional, bespoke pieces that celebrate African design while supporting sustainable livelihoods.
Every item in the collection is personally sourced. Colette travels to meet artisans, learn their techniques, and witness the care and tradition behind each piece. Whether it's handcrafted jewelry, intricate beadwork, or unique patterns and designs, each piece is one-of-a-kind and steeped in heritage, designed to be cherished. Through this process, Colette aims to connect discerning style lovers with quality pieces that are not only beautiful but rich in meaning—carrying forward a legacy of craft, culture, and empowerment.
