Show Notes
My guest this week is Savannah Yarborough, founder and designer of Savas. The Nashville based leather workshop. She's made jackets for Jack White, Justin Theroux, and more.
Savannah and I discuss her journey from remaking t-shirts as a teenager to founding her own bespoke brand. Along the way, she competed in extreme rollerblading, hung out with the Hells Angels, studied at Central Saint Martins, led menswear design at Billy Reid, and discovered the transformational power of a leather jacket.
