India, Aug. 22 -- Summer conjures a vibe, a visual, a piece of this earth that is pristine waters, swaying palms, balmy breeze & endless pina coladas. This is a summer that needs to be celebrated and the celebrated clothing label, SAND by Shirin is doing that with a collection very close to the brand's heart and soul. Shot on the beautiful, tropical island of Bali, this collection encapsulates the diversity of the island, the natural vistas, the nooks, the corners and the beautiful people who inhabit it. A place where people from different parts of the world come together and create a new way of life - slow paced, mindful, nomadic, where morning coffee runs become daily swims and stylish cocktail hours are coupled with a stunning sunset for a view. Bali is not just a place, it is a lifestyle, and that is the essence SAND has captured in this dynamic new collection, a collection which represents the calm that the sea brings, the gratitude that nature imbibes and most of all the spirit that only an island this stunning can have.

Island '24 presents the biggest collection by SAND, with subtle prints inspired by the tropics, clothing handcrafted from natural raffia, fresh blossoms embroidered on bold evening silhouettes and new versatile co-ords, dresses and jumpsuits in fresh hues of Sunset, Seafoam, Lavender Mist & Stone, and ensembles for both women and men. The new collection also launches a capsule of handcrafted, vegan footwear inspired by Island life, easy, breezy, comfortable and most of all, beautiful. This collection also showcases unique fabrics created exclusively for these ensembles; the SAND Double Metallic Sheen Linen Blend has been developed to capture the subtle shine of the golden hour on the island. With a beautiful lustre, this fabric has been created after months of working with mills to make a balance of 57% Cupro, 25% Linen and 17% Metallic. This new blend of linen, with a glass like finish and a smooth hand feel, its fuller bodied yet flows effortlessly. Its micro lustre can be witnessed very closely and with the movement of the outfit. The Natural Raffia fabric is a special edition natural fibre, obtained from the dried leaves of raffia palms native to Bali. It is soft in nature and commonly used in making baskets or hats. Creatively intrigued by nature of this fibre, for the very first time, SAND has worked with a cluster of women artisans, vocationally trained in raffia weaving by hand knotting strands of raffia to create bandeaus, jumpsuit and dresses. The Melange Linen has a composition of 50% linen yarn, 30% jute yarn and 20% cotton yarn and has a soft jute-like hand feel. The textured surface and variation of earthy tones makes it a beautiful fabric to create unique, impactful pieces of clothing.
