Our story
Built in
the kitchen.
savamander was born from years of working where heat, pressure and long hours are part of everyday life.
Founded by chef Sava.
I didn't want
another chef jacket.
My name is Sava.
I've spent years working in professional kitchens.
Long shifts. Hot kitchens. Steam, sweat, constant movement and hundreds of small tasks repeated every day.
Over the years, I've worn and tested dozens of chef jackets and workwear brands.
Some looked great but became uncomfortable after hours in the kitchen. Some were breathable but didn't feel professional enough. Some restricted movement. Some had pockets in the wrong places. Some were too heavy. Some became uncomfortable when wet. And sometimes, it was something as small as a collar, a sleeve or a button that started bothering you after ten hours of service.
Individually, these were small problems.
But when you work in a kitchen every day, small problems become big problems.
Eventually I started asking myself a simple question:
Why can't one jacket get all of these details right?
That question became the beginning of savamander.
Fix the
small things.
savamander started with a chef jacket, but the idea was never just to make another uniform.
The goal is to rethink the everyday things hospitality professionals use — from the perspective of the people who actually use them.
- Better workwear.
- Better footwear.
- Better tools and everyday equipment.
- Better solutions for long shifts.
- Even better meals for the people working those shifts.
Everything starts with the same question:
Can we make this part of hospitality life easier?
Why savamander exists
From one chef to an entire industry.
I've always been interested in hospitality beyond just cooking.
The kitchen, the equipment, the uniforms, the workflow, the people and all the small systems that make a restaurant work.
savamander is my way of turning that experience into products that other hospitality professionals can actually use.
We are starting with professional chef wear, but that is only the beginning.
Our vision extends to workwear, footwear, knives, tools, accessories, everyday essentials and even high-quality meals designed for people working long shifts.
Not products designed around a boardroom.
Products designed around a shift.
The savamander philosophy
Making hospitality
life easier.
One detail. One product. One shift at a time.
01
Built from experience
Real problems observed during real working days in hospitality.
02
Tested where it matters
Products should prove themselves during long shifts, not just look good in photographs.
03
Always improving
Listen to the people wearing, using and working with our products — then make the next version better.
This is only
the beginning.
savamander started with the problems I experienced myself.
Where it goes next will be shaped by the people working alongside us.
