Samtana tees

Its a great pleasure to introduce to you all a 'wearable' art' brand - Samtana!


<!--[endif]-->
Samtana tees is based in Bengaluru, India and was co-founded by two people obsessed with wearing t-shirts. The most appealing aspect for me about this brand was their unique perspective towards creating their product, go-green initiative and use of organic cotton. Nothing feels right on your skin than clothes made of pure cotton, the best fabric on earth!
I think one of the amazing things about the company is their belief and work towards promoting local work and talent - both art and the t-shirt material. The best part is the originality/individuality of the art expressed on some of the tees; they are sure shot eye-catchers in the crowd. For me this is a super deal, a place where you get customized cotton tees for a reasonable price.

All Samtana shirts are made in India using 100% organic cotton, which is non genetically manipulated cotton that is grown free of harmful chemicals and pesticides.

The t-shirts are currently available to purchase online on the company website www.samtana.com using credit cards or cash-on-receipt and they ship to anywhere in India. 
Samtana is offering special 10% discount code to my readers 'ZINGOFMYLIFEGOESORGANIC'. The discount code is valid on purchase of all t-shirts, including the new arrivals. Please note that the voucher is valid for one month only. So, hurry!
You can connect with Samtana via their Facebook page www.facebook.com/samtanaclothing

A little about Samtana in the founders' own words: We founded Samtana after years of being frustrated by the lack of individuality and limited aesthetic appeal of most of the clothing available in shops around India,” says Bharath, one of the co-founders of Samtana. So we decided to get together talented artists from around the world and bring ‘wearable art’ to everyone who shares our values. Samtana is, in essence, our Community of Designers. With Samtana, we believe we have succeeded in demonstrating that it’s possible to be unique, fashionable and eco-conscious all at the same time, without breaking the bank,” says co-founder Ben Heinkel, who is based in Barcelona, Spain, and sees among modern youth a rapidly growing desire for self-expression that promotes ethical values rather than rapacious corporatism."


Some of the t-shirt designs that I fancy right now..(these tees are available for both guys & gals)

So now you know, where to get that unique Diwali gift for your loved one who is passionate about wearing t-shirts! I am sure you will be loaded with hugs & kisses in return :)

Summer oh summer!

Neon tee and denim shorts make a comfy n peppy combo and this is exactly what I wore on our road trip to Ocean city, Maryland. Incidentally, it was also my first long drive after getting my US driver's licence. So, I was quite pumped and looking forward to the adventure, you see! And thankfully it went really well. I think driving on a highway is a totally different ball-game, the speed, changing lanes, highway traffic..phewww!

Well, we needless to say we safely made it to Ocean city :) Ocean city is a cool relaxing place couple of hours from Washington, DC. There is nothing much to sight-see  which is a huge plus! 'cause that is exactly the kind of place I want to go to unwind and relax. Ocean city has miles of pristine beaches, a board walk with yummy fried food & ice creams and cool bars n crab shacks. It definitely makes a perfect getaway for a 2/3 day weekend.
The crab shacks remind of me of the ones in Goa, no show-sha just the real crabby stuff, chilled beer and beachy sand beneath your feet. (More on crabs and my very first experience with actually eating a crab in another post).

Well, leaving you to enjoy the pics. I love the back drop; the hotel's pool area overlooked blue waters & grass...so pleasing to the eyes. These pics make me miss summer so very much..summer oh summer, come soon will ya?

What I am wearing:  Neon pink tee: Old Navy; Denim shorts: American Eagle; sandals: Katie&Kelly at DSW; Fedora: Francesca's; Sunnies: American Eagle; Crossbody: DSW; Bracelet: American Eagle; Watch: Swatch; Butterfly pendant necklace: H&M.
