Savas, the Nashville-based luxury men’s leather brand created by Savannah Yarborough, has brought a chief operating officer on board in a move designed to drive multichannel growth.
Yarborough, an Alabama native who attended Central Saint Martins in London and started her career at Billy Reid, has named Cara Jackson to the newly created position.
Savas, known for its tailored leather outerwear, will look to Jackson to lead operations, infrastructure and strategic development, while preserving the identity and integrity of the brand that was founded in 2015.
Jackson began her career as an intellectual property attorney at Bass, Berry & Sims in Nashville. In 2015, she founded a business management firm, working with more than 40 creative companies, before joining Creative Artists Agency as a business affairs executive in the music touring department, where she worked with artists and executives. Most recently she has worked as an independent business strategist, advising creative companies on organizational structure and business development.
“We have evolved from being handcrafted and one-of-a-kind to designing collections that are sold and recognized alongside European luxury brands,” said Yarborough, founder and creative director of Savas. “To execute this transition requires structure and foresight, and Cara brings that discipline. In order for Savas to continue growing responsibly and deliver the quality of work we are known for, it must be done ethically and with an understanding of where we come from and where we are going.”
“Savannah has built something truly rare,” Jackson added. “Her ability to design pieces that make people feel unmistakably powerful is more than fashion. These are garments you collect, live in, and treasure for years, and I’m inspired by the staying power and loyalty that creates.”
Savas will present its fall 2026 collection in Milan later this month.
