Hi,

My name is Monika Molnar - Sambawamba is my hobby. I love creating and sharing what I love.

​

In 2002, I received a gift from a friend who had just returned from Thailand—a pair of linen fisherman pants. I had no idea how or where to wear them, but I absolutely loved them. Inspired by their design, I created my own version guided by nature's principle of harmony  "the golden ratio" I made them in a variety of fabrics, colours, and styles to suit different occasions—so I could finally wear them anywhere, anytime. Before I knew it the whole world around me wanted a pair from me. ​

​

One day my husband casually asked me, “Don’t you think you should start doing this as a business?” I had never thought of it that way, so I replied, “Come on, who would buy them?” He looked at me, surprised: “What about the hundreds of people who have already bought at least three pairs from you over the last four years?” 🙂

 

So I decided to go for it. I immediately created a simple website—and then realised we needed a name. 

Excited, I turned to my husband for ideas. He was on a conference call. “We need a name!” I shouted.

“I don’t know, babe—SAMBAWAMBA, whatever—just come up with something, it doesn’t matter!”

And just like that, the SAMBAWAMBA brand was born.

 

Every piece is 100% ethically made, created by me with passion and love.

​

I hope you’ll enjoy wearing them as much as I love making them. The choice is endless, and the prices are kept affordable. I guarantee you won’t stop at just one pair once you try your first.

​

Each piece is unique and limited edition—you will always stand out wearing them.

 

Many of my orders come from people stopping me on the street to ask where I got my amazing pants from.

​

Life is simple. Do what you love. And happiness is guaranteed. 

 

Wear them with confidence!
