Since 1985, Simon & Elizabeth Southwood have been growing a swimwear culture known simply as sauvage.

In this throw away world, we at Sauvage are ever conscious to do our best to produce a quality product in the most responsible way.

Our fabric is produced in Italy and Spain, our suppliers are a small group, of fabric mills at the forefront of sustainability in their production.

These companies are not paying lip service to being eco friendly, but are taking active steps to reduce waste and to respect the planet.

Fabrics are bio based, biodegradable, recycled, regenerated and organic.

New techniques, such as waterless drying are used. Company car fleets are electric-it all adds up, and we can all do our part.

We, at Sauvage, are proud to be a small family run company, we love what we do. Our products are all made here in the USA (San Diego, CA) by a small team of talented seamstresses. As we approach a new year, we will be looking to reduce our waste like the use of plastic bags, using recycled boxes for shipping etc.
