Job Description

About the BrandEstablished in 2020 by Amy Zurek, Savette celebrates traditional leather craft in a new and modern form.

From the convertible strap to the signature hardware, every component is designed to be aesthetically refined and intuitively functional. Each bag is made by hand outside Florence with considered details and thoughtful design. Savette is born from Amy's mother's maiden name.
