About Savannah Africa

SAVANNAH AFRICA, founded by Savannah Hanni, has emerged as a beacon of conservation and luxury, intertwining the worlds of fashion and wildlife preservation.

With her profound love for Africa and its wildlife, the brand has pledged to donate 10% of its sales towards conservation efforts. Drawing inspiration from the haunting realities of poaching that she witnessed first-hand, particularly affecting rhinos, vultures, and pangolins, Savannah Africa stands as a testament to our commitment to safeguarding the continent’s natural heritage. By blending opulent goods with a noble cause, the brand has effectively created a platform to benefit both wildlife and local communities, embodying the spirit of sustainable luxury and proper corporate citizenship.

One of the underlying principles of Savannah Africa revolves around the fundamental principle of “know who made your bag.” This embodies a commitment to transparency, ethical sourcing, and empowering local artisans in Africa. Each bag in the collection is not merely a product but a story woven by skilled hands, representing the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship of Africa. By emphasizing the importance of knowing the people behind the products we use, Savannah Africa promotes a deeper connection between consumers and the artisans whose creativity and dedication breathe life into each unique piece. This principle not only ensures quality and authenticity but also fosters a sense of community, respect, and sustainability in the fashion industry.

Why Leather?

Cattle hold immense importance in Africa, serving as a source of livelihood, sustenance, and cultural significance for many communities across the continent.

Beyond their role in providing meat and dairy products, cattle also yield leather as a valuable by-product. Leather, often overlooked, possesses immense potential for economic growth and a sustainable industry.

By harnessing this intrinsically important resource from Africa, the brand not only creates exquisite luxury leather bags locally, but also serves as a powerful avenue for empowering people, providing individuals with a stable employment and a source of income.

In doing so, the brand not only honours the cultural significance of cattle in Africa, but also champions the responsible use of resources, thereby creating a positive impact on both the local communities and the environment.

Furthermore, the brand’s commitment to using locally sourced leather helps to stimulate the regional economy and promotes the preservation of traditional craftsmanship.

This initiative not only ensures the production of high-quality products but also fosters a sense of pride and ownership within the community, driving sustainable development and reinforcing the cultural heritage associated with cattle.
