Why Our Sarongs Only Get Better With Age
When I first started Snakes and Shanti, I launched with just one T-shirt (in four colours) and two sarongs: one yellow, one black.
That Yellow Om sarong quickly became a favourite. Six years on, it’s still one of our best sellers.
The version we sell today is made with the same fabric and by the same small factory I switched to after my first collection. That change—moving to a softer, thicker cotton—was one of the most important decisions I’ve made in shaping the brand. The difference is in the feel: you can sense the quality from the first wear, and it only gets better with time.
In a world full of lookalikes, there are lots of similar Om sarongs out there—but few with the longevity and feel of ours. One of my favourite things is seeing how the colour and fabric soften over the years. They don’t wear out—they wear in.
We still use the same factory, the same process, the same beautiful fabric. Whether it’s your first sarong or your fifth, every piece is made to last for years and years. That’s always been the goal: to create something beautiful, functional, and enduring.
Thank you for being part of this journey—especially if you've been here since the beginning.
