SKARONG: A Visionary Approach to Fashion, Sustainability, and Inclusivity

  • Written by The Women's Magazine

SKARONG is transforming the way we think about beachwear. Born from a desire to simplify the classic sarong without sacrificing style, the brand has emerged as a leader in sustainable and versatile fashion. Created by Australian designer Marielle Collins, SKARONG marries function with elegance, offering a garment that adapts seamlessly to any occasion—whether as a skirt, dress, or top.

A Design Journey Rooted in Innovation

The journey to perfect SKARONG was anything but simple. Collins spent over a year meticulously refining the design, crafting multiple prototypes to ensure an intuitive fit for all body shapes. The challenge was not just about aesthetics—it was about practicality. Tying a traditional sarong could be cumbersome, but SKARONG eliminates the struggle, offering an effortless way to style a look without the hassle. Customers describe it as “life-changing,” praising its ability to transition from beachwear to evening attire with ease.

Sustainability at the Core

SKARONG is committed to sustainability, a principle woven into every aspect of its production. From fabric selection to manufacturing, environmental responsibility guides every decision. The brand’s signature Eco Mesh, made from up to 92% recycled plastic bottles, reduces reliance on virgin materials while ensuring superior comfort and durability. By embracing ethical sourcing and local production methods, SKARONG minimizes its carbon footprint and sets a standard for eco-conscious fashion.

“As designers, we have a responsibility to the planet,” says Collins. “SKARONG isn’t just about looking good—it’s about doing good.”

Giving Back with Heart

Beyond its role in sustainable fashion, SKARONG is deeply invested in social impact. Through its initiative providing free turbans to cancer patients, the brand offers not just a garment but a source of comfort and dignity. What started as a simple idea to support individuals facing hair loss has grown into a movement, with recipients sharing heartfelt stories of renewed confidence.

One customer shared, “Receiving a SKARONG turban meant more than words can express. It made me feel beautiful during one of the most difficult times of my life.”

Looking Ahead: Expanding Inclusivity

SKARONG’s commitment to inclusivity is shaping the brand’s next chapter. Currently available in four sizes (XS, S, M & L), SKARONG is expanding its range to include an XL option, ensuring every individual can experience the confidence of feeling their best at the beach or on vacation. Plans are also underway to introduce new designs, including boleros and menswear pieces—making SKARONG’s signature versatility accessible to an even broader audience.

“Fashion should empower everyone,” Collins states. “We’re constantly innovating to ensure that SKARONG remains an inclusive, forward-thinking brand.”

A Future of Ethical Fashion

With SKARONG continuing to evolve, the brand is focused on pioneering new fabric technologies and sustainable practices while staying true to its origins. Upcoming collections will feature fresh textures, colours, and limited-edition designs that push the boundaries of ethical fashion. SKARONG is not just redefining the sarong—it’s reimagining the way we approach style, sustainability, and inclusivity.

SKARONG is more than fashion—it’s a movement. A celebration of effortless style, responsible production, and meaningful impact.
