Savakas: In Store


We are really happy to announce that we are stocking Savakas products at Notion Store. Savakas (savakas.co.uk) is a UK clothing brand who produce some really nice stuff. We have T's and hoodies in the store, and we'll update the online store accordingly too. Until then, check this little interview out we did with James Weston from Savakas. Word.

What's Savakas and how long have you guys been around?
Savakas as a collective of people and idea, forever!!! But Savakas started as a blog about two years ago, the clothing followed shortly after.

Who's on the team?
Debatable haha! I kind of never really wanted to have something as official as a 'team'. More of a collection of people who all 'get involved'!
People you may know...Daniel Benson(FIT) ,Tom Blyth(FBM), Max Bimar(Deluxe), Thomas Calcagno(Twenty), Shoji Tanaka(Simple), Carl Wilson-(Creature Skateboards, Independent)
People you maynot...
Harley Wiles,Sean Pointing,Louie Mire and a couple of people who have awol!

Any plans for trips etc this year?
All mouth and no trousers....yeh i think there will be, there has been alot of talk!.

Who does your artwork?
The new line, Oliver Bach tattooing Skateborder, Megan Kate Amey, Sean (one of the team) and myself.

Do you guys have any other products in the pipeline?
Yeah loads, A few more Garments will be available in the next few weeks, a few new accessories, a few colabs, and something round and hard!!!

What's the future plans for Savakas and where would you like to see yourselfs in the next few years?
There has never been a plan. I never even set out to do a 'BMX' specific company, or even a clothing specific company, Just stick to our guns and embrace all interests.
The main goal now is to progress with the quailty of garments and acheive a subtle individuality. To evolve the aethetic to actually become how i envisoned it.

Thanks lads, any shout outs and thanks.. pop them here.. word.
No. haha...yeh loads but i will probably forget people...so thanks everybody involved!
