Live It. Your Way.

 

I have been on the road for a few years now, having travelled to 7 different countries across Asia in the last two years alone. That’s not a lot for any seasoned traveler, but the journey so far has been nothing but full of surprises, hope and inspiration for me. I must say though, It hasn’t all been easy and leisure since I stepped out of my comfort zone crossing so many boundaries, cultures, people and traditions from different walks of life - a complete unknown. 

ONE HAPPY INCIDENCE

Or, should I say many? I love visiting local markets while I am traveling, and one visit in particular stands out amongst all. While I was traveling Northern Thailand, I came across a merchant selling ‘handmade clothing' in a local market. He run a family business and will turn up at this market every week on Saturday with a new batch of clothing's imprinted with his own material, design and creativity. Honestly, the quality and design was top-notch and no less than any fancy clothing brands out there today. His unique selling point (USP) was to promote local Thai tradition, minimalist and laid-back design, sustainable material yet of premium quality. Most impressively, HE DID IT ALL - from sourcing high-quality local cotton, designing on his own, family sewing, social media marketing, sales. You name it! That was truly inspiring to me. That evening, the obvious thought I had was:

Not many would know about his products, his story? Will they? Unless of course, either he decides to spend 'considerably' on advertising or you happen to be a nomad just like me (hehe).

Over the last few years of my travel, I have since met many such small vendors, who have a real value to offer and deserves to be known. And hence, Svamingo!

SVAMINGO WAS BORN

It was in Sri Lanka when I started dreaming of Svamingo with the idea of bringing you the artisanal, of premium quality and sustainable products direct from source, from such vendors who have their heart and soul in what they do.

Every product has a story and we are here to tell you that story!

I want to celebrate age-old traditions, craft, artistry with Svamingo as a platform. With every product we sell, we believe it will make a truly long-lasting impact to your life, both physically and mentally.

ON WE GO!!
