Tropic Wear is based in Cairns, Far North Queensland, Australia.
I designed the Tropic Wear Sarong/Skirt because I wanted a garment that I would enjoy wearing, that would be comfortable and look different from all the mass-produced skirts and sarongs that you buy in the shops. I wanted a sarong with a bit of class, one that wouldn't blow open and that would fit me exactly!
Once I had come up with the design, I knew the material had to be special as well. Standard tropical designs are very nice but there are so many mass-produced garments in these designs already that I wanted something different. At the time, I was experimenting with discharge-dyeing, where patterns are created on fabric by removing colour rather than by adding it. I tried this on rayon fabric (ideal sarong fabric!) and the results were spectacular.
I have been selling the Tropic Wear Sarong/Skirts at the local markets here in Cairns and at the world-famous Port Douglas Markets for some time now and they have proven very popular with women of all ages and sizes.
Now anyone can access these unique and original sarongs.
I hope you enjoy wearing them as much as I do!
