Personalised sarongs handmade in London
If you love the idea of looking like a seaside siren, then a beach sarong is an essential. This beach must-have will live up to all of your expectations and even exceed them. Made from a choice of faux Silk Sensation or Paris Chiffon, your gorgeous sarong is easy to roll up and pop in your beach bag for easy summer style. Your sarong is UK printed, cut and sewn by our team of talented technicians. You will find a level of quality, which cannot be matched by anything on the high street. Best of all, you are the designer so you choose how your beachwear looks.
Paris Chiffon
Float away, and feel feminine, fierce, and fabulous. Opt for a sarong made from Paris Chiffon, if you want to create a sarong, which looks dreamy, and delicate, but is surprisingly robust. The transparent fabric slips over the body, with a fluid drape. Fine details are depicted in high quality, and colours look bright.
Silk Sensation
This is a stunning alternative to silk; with all of the beauty, with the added benefit of it being easy to care for. The smooth handle of this chic fabric, allows it to flow freely over the body. With a glowing, shiny face, designs work well with the slightly creamy, off-white base colour. The face catches light, making it reflect and bounce prettily.
Style it with
Fed up with kaftans? Sick of beach dresses? Then the sarong is what you need to add a little extra style and cover to your poolside look. Your personalised sarongs can be printed to feature whatever design you want. Once you know how to wear a sarong, you will understand just how versatile this fabulous piece of beachwear is. Tie it around your waist, over your swimsuit to add a flowing skirt. Style it up as a halterneck dress and throw on some cute wedges. For guys, tie it around your waist with a fitted tank top and flip flops for a cool, off duty summer look.

Frequently asked questions:
What is the personalised sarong made from?
This item is made from a choice of 2 different custom printed fabrics. It is your decision which one you opt for. Choose from stunning silk sensation; a faux silk fabric, which has a gorgeous drape, a smooth surface, and a subtle, shimmering surface. Or Paris Chiffon; an elegant, silky, soft, and sheer fabric, which is lightweight, and breathable.
Where is this item made?
Your personalised sarong is handmade in our London based studio. Beach sarongs UK made, printed, and sewn, can be a difficult thing to find. However, everything we create at Contrado, we make ourselves right here in London. Your order is printed by a team of talented print technicians, and sewn by skilled seamstresses.
How should I design my personalised sarong?
This is a large piece of fabric, which is printed, and sewn by us. Choose from 2 sizes; the Classic fits XS - L, and the Plus Size Sarong fits sizes XL - 4XL. As this is one large piece of fabric, we recommend a stunning repeat pattern, as busy as you want. This way, no matter how you wear your sarong, your bespoke print will be able to be seen.

Print Guideline
What's the best resolution to print in?
We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally, your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
-
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
-
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
If each individual colour is specifically important to your design, choose CYMK as our setup will print each colour with the closest possible match within our available range. If the relationship between the colours within the image is more important choose RGB; this will reduce all colours equally to fit within our range.
-
Maximum dimensions
For most of our fabrics, there is no limit on the length of the fabric that you can order. We have a preview design window set up to 10m max to visualise the print, but that's not a print limit. If you'd like to order more, increase the quantity (x2 for 20m or x4 for 40m for example) and then you can order as much as you'd like, with a built-in automatic volume discount too. The maximum print width of each fabric can be found on the individual fabric pages or in our design interface.
-
Do I need to incorporate white space within my design if I want a border or some cutting space?
Yes, that might help you! Always incorporate any extra space or borders into your purchased fabric size. We trim squarely around fabric samples and fabric prints, leaving approximately 5mm white space. Cutting neatly on the line has an additional fee.
-
Do you print on fabric a customer supplies?
Unfortunately not; we like to test meticulously so that we know what gets best results on our fabrics, and our facilities cater perfectly to them.
-
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail, jpeg is fine.
-
Why is there a barcode inside my clothing?
Due to our internal processes here at Contrado, there will be a barcode printed on your garment. This is inside the clothing and will not affect your design. It is usually found towards the bottom.
-
What is the situation with material shrinkage?
Just like many fabric printing processes, there is the potential for shrinkage. Depending on the fabric, please expect and allow between 2-8% shrinkage which you need to plan for in your dimensions. This percentage can vary. As everything we produce is handmade to order, there may be a slight variance in the measurements.
-
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as many fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
-
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them as you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now, this is the best choice. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into labels.
-
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are printed using water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfilment.
