THE FOUNDING SPIRIT OF AKA SAVRAN
The legacy of AKA SAVRAN is founded upon the artistic and entrepreneurial spirit within Africa. The idea of creating this brand was sparked during a cold winter and stylish spring in Paris. The AKA SAVRAN collective had a dream to start a revolution within the world of Luxury, Accessories and Eyewear.
The spirit of AKA SAVRAN is focused on bringing diversity and a crucial change within the world of Luxury, Accessories and Eyewear. It is critical due to 90% of the luxury brands and companies are owned by three conglomerates. This change is needed because otherwise certain stories, visions and ideas will never be shared with the world.
