OUR STORY
Hi,
My name is Monika Molnar, and I am simply a passionate woman who always follows her calling. I love what I do, and I do 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 and started making them in a variety of fabrics, colours, and styles to suit different occasions—so I could finally wear them myself.
As a pro-dancer, I made many pairs for the studio, workouts, and rehearsals. I wore them for fitness, casually, for going out salsa dancing, and even as evening wear. Soon, I realised my wardrobe was full of these pants, and all my friends wanted them too. Each of them ended up with at least one pair—often more.
When my daughter was born, I began making them for babies, then for boys and toddlers, and the passion just kept growing.
A few years later, 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. Always.
Wear them with confidence!
