Our story

Made slowly, worn for years

A small house with a long view

Sauvelle began in 2014 with a single rail of linen shirts, cut in a borrowed studio and sold to friends. A decade later we still design every piece in-house, and we still believe the most sustainable garment is the one you keep wearing.

We work with eleven family-run ateliers across Scotland, Portugal, Italy and Spain — partners we visit every season, whose names we know and whose craft we pay for fairly.

What we stand for

  • Natural fibres first. Linen, organic cotton, silk, wool and cashmere — over 92% of our collection.
  • Small batches. We produce in limited runs and restock what you love, so nothing ends up in landfill.
  • Repairs for life. Send us anything we have made, at any age, and we will mend it free of charge.
  • Plastic-free delivery. Recycled tissue, compostable mailers and reusable cotton bags.
