Swarnaa Rajalingam Instagram – Which combo would you pick?
1, 2, 3, 4 or 5? 👇🏾
Of course I had to pack different @swanathelabel swimsuits for my Fiji trip! How good does this print look on my skin 😭😫😍
This brand is so so special to me. I’ve been there from the start and watched this brand come to life. Swana The Label celebrates diversity in skin tones, body shapes (with sizes ranging from 2XS to 4XL) and blends all south asian cultures into one stunning print featuring elephants, peacocks, palm trees and a fusion of Indian and Sri Lankan cultural motifs.
Born from Swarnaa’s @thelifeofasocialbutterfly somewhat contradicting experiences growing up with both Tamil and Australian influences, Swarnaa created STL to challenge cultural views around sun exposure, body image and what is considered ‘modest’ when it comes to swimwear.
I love that the brand celebrates women of all backgrounds, skin tones and sizes which is so evident in the models Swarnaa chooses to represent her brand and online store. Her swimsuits represent years of research put into designing pieces for different body shapes and different levels of comfort and was the first south Asian swimwear brand to walk at Miami Fashion week. Even then, Swarnaa stayed true to her vision of representing women of colour and all different body shapes with the models who walked for her show and I do so admire that about her and her brand. She has stayed true to who she is and what her brand has represented from the very beginning.
I remember years ago speaking to Swarnaa when she first came up with a print and was looking for places to print her fabric and it’s so so inspiring to see how her brand has grown since and I am so excited for the next collection coming soon!
P.S before I forget, if the above wasn’t enough to make you love this brand, STL is also committed to #sustainability with her swimwear being made from ECONYL a recycled material made from plastic waste! 😍🙌🏾
Let me know your pick! I can’t decide!
