Inspired by the journey of Laksmi, a Balinese woman who lost her fiancé to the ocean just three days before their wedding, this sarong reflects how she coped with the loss and navigated the five stages of grief. Coloured in serene shades of indigo blue, the hues echo Laksmi’s heartfelt dialogues with the ocean. The fluid tie-dye patterns represent the undulating waves of the ocean, each swirl symbolising Laksmi’s emotional journey. Additionally, the delicate appliqué of Laksmi on the sarong adds a deeply personal touch, making each piece a unique tribute to her story.
Perfect for any relaxed setting, this sarong offers endless versatility and can be styled in several forms, from a skirt to a dress, or a top to outerwear. Whether you’re strolling the sandy shores of Bali or finding peace in your villa backyard, it adapts seamlessly to your needs, providing comfort with a touch of charm.
