Creating waves in the world of luxury menswear, Sarah & Sandeep expands into a bespoke swimwear line in collaboration with House of Malabaar — ‘Sarah & Sandeep x HOM’. With the modern voyager in mind, this swimwear collection is inspired by summer escapes to capture the essence of resort wear with ease.
Designed with the belief that great style is not limited by size, each piece is custom-crafted to transcend the standard borders and create a masterpiece that is tailored to fit. Whether you’re lean, broad, athletic, or plus-sized, the bespoke option ensures you feel confident, comfortable, and completely yourself. It’s about redefining the thought of standard measurements to cater to body positivity and keep the luxury of choice at the forefront.
In a category long dominated by standard sizing and fast fashion, swimwear that adapts to individuality is refreshingly personal. Be it the front drawstrings or the adjustable side straps, you get to pick from 8 styles, multiple prints, and a wide spectrum of vibrant colours to create the perfect balance of structure, ease of use, fluidity, and design appeal. For those who want something off-the-rack, there’s a ready-to-wear range available — but the bespoke experience is where the real magic lies.
Says Sandeep Gonsalves, Co-founder at Sarah & Sandeep:
“Partnering with House of Malabaar felt instinctive—our shared passion for detail, craftsmanship, and storytelling made this collaboration seamless. We’ve long admired their ability to bring a fresh, tropical sensibility to design, and it complements our tailoring philosophy beautifully. This was an opportunity to expand the idea of bespoke into an unexpected space, with a partner that truly understands design-driven luxury.”
From poolside lounging and oceanfront dinners to spending the day on the streets followed by riding the tides, the collection is designed to be sophisticated and refined to effortlessly transition from resort to city. Doubling up like versatile shorts — the swimwear is suited for a drink at a beach shack, strolling into dinner, or taking a dip.
The collection integrates Sarah & Sandeep’s signature house codes with House of Malabaar’s tropical eccentric designs. From intricate pintuck accents inspired by exotic palm leaf shadows to seashell-inspired patterns, the swim shorts feature sleek silhouettes to mimic the rhythm of the sea and pay homage to the harmony of structure by combining clean geometry and SS designs into the collection.
The collection’s color schemes draw inspiration from the beaches and islands that Sarah & Sandeep have visited over the past decade. Featuring hues like Cannes Emerald, Marina Blue, Praslin Sand, Nai Thon Fiery Red, and Tenerife Merlot, the palette evokes the serene vibrance of global waterscapes — translating memories of sun-drenched shores and tropical escapes into wearable statements.
Says Shalin Shah, Co-founder of House of Malabaar:
“We’ve always believed in the power of meaningful collaborations, and Sarah & Sandeep felt like the perfect partner. Their mastery of structure and fit balanced our love for bold prints and effortless resort living. This collection is a true meeting point of vision and values—and we’re excited to create something that feels so elevated yet personal.”
Starting at INR 12,000 for off-the-rack styles and INR 20,000 onwards for bespoke creations, the collection is not only fast-drying and lightweight but also feels like a second skin so it doesn’t weigh you down. The collection will be available at the Sarah & Sandeep atelier and select House of Malabaar locations and website, and is an opportunity to invest in swimwear that is trendy, fashion-forward, and elevates personal style in a category as spontaneous as a swim.
