Tanami Dry Sarong

This 45 x 66 in (115 x 168 cm) sarong in silk cotton is printed with Tanami Dry, an aerial photograph of the Tanami Desert by Elissa Nampijinpa.

Tanami Dry was taken from the skies above the Tanami Desert in Australia: a bird's-eye view of the scars left behind in a drought-ridden desert, its barren waterways no longer able to nourish its natural inhabitants or feed its Indigenous peoples. This print is Nampijinpa's gift to the Warlpiri: all profits from it go toward bringing clean water and medical aid to the Central Desert region of Australia's Northern Territory. Artist and designer Elissa Nampijinpa pixelated the photograph to create the final print. 100% Australian artwork.

Ways to wear it

There are so many ways to wear a sarong: wrap it around you bandeau-style, double-twist it at the front, or simply tie it around your waist. You can even tie it over your clothes in several ways, like a kimono. And because it's #notjustasarong, for truly effortless elegance simply roll it up and loop it around your neck a few times as a scarf.
