4 Things You Need to Know Before You Buy
Sauvage swimwear has been around for decades, but how much do you truly know about this brand loved by influencers and celebrity style enthusiasts?
This blog covers the 4 main things you must know before you buy even a single piece of their high fashion swimsuits for women and men.
Sauvage swimsuits are made with Italian fabrics
Not all swimwear is created equal. Sauvage swimwear is a cut above the rest because it's made with the best quality designer Italian fabrics.
Why should you care? Because top tier fabrics with unforgettable prints, patterns and finishes, like sequins, leave an indelible mark on those around you.
This means you'll be seen and remembered for your luxury fashion sense.
Another bonus? Swimsuits designed with high end Italian fabrics tend to be more durable and last longer than less expensive swimsuits.
All you need to do is make sure you wash them with a good swimsuit cleaner to keep them in perfect condition.
Plus, those bougie designs never go out of style. So your glamorous swimsuits will always be on-trend, even years from now.
2. Sauvage is a family owned and operated business
Launched in 1985 by Simon & Elizabeth Southwood who wanted to create a brand that appealed to a variety of men and women.
The brand has gained prominence through magazine features such as Irina Shayk’s past Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover.
If you think the swimwear line Sauvage is just for supermodels like Shayk, think again.
“Our line is for everyone – regardless of your age or body type – because fashion is all about attitude,” Simon said. “Our design process is very intense because we try to capture the latest trends while also ensuring detail and quality are paramount.”
Simon said they landed on the name of the company because the word Sauvage is French for wild.
“We wanted to build a brand that was different and interesting,” Simon explained. “Elizabeth has always had a passion for high fashion and while we initially reacted to what people said they wanted, we gradually developed our own style.”
3. Sauvage swimwear is made in the USA
How difficult is it to find great quality swimwear that's made in the USA? The answer: Extremely. Why is this? It's because not every swimsuit manufacturer has the same values.
While fashion is important to Elizabeth and Simon, so is quality.
Their manufacturing facility is located in San Diego and this allows them to keep a close eye on every step of the process.
Ensuring quality is maintained with each piece is one of the main reasons Sauvage has transcended the decades.
“At one point, we contracted out our manufacturing but the quality just wasn’t the same,” Simon said. “Today, everything is made in our factory in San Diego.
We have some great seamstresses and we are real control freaks when it comes to the manufacturing process. We think we have a product that is above and beyond the competition – both in quality and design.”
Canadians love quality products made in the USA too.
“We also have a very loyal following in Canada,” Simon said. “We love to work with other family owned companies such as Sun Vixen Swimwear.”
4. Sauvage uses sustainable practices
Unlike many other brands, Sauvage Swimwear uses far less plastic. Most high end swimwear brands tuck each piece into a separate plastic pouch that is later discarded by the customer.
Sauvage is different.
Single use plastics are minimally used. It may not seem like much, but with a single manufacturer committed to using less plastic, that adds up to a meaningful amount of waste that is avoided altogether.
So, if you're thinking about investing in Sauvage, this list of 4 important things can help you decide before buying this swimwear brand.
If you're not convinced by their stylish designs, quality swimsuits and high fashion looks, perhaps this impressive list will turn you into a glamorous Sauvage fan.
So, whether your tastes run conservative or a bit edgy, now is as good time as any to unleash your inner Sauvage.
