Samantha believes colour to be transformative to a person’s wellbeing. She uses the subtle, yet powerful energy of colour to evoke peace, beauty and wellness to the wearer.

Samantha’s Fijian heritage, & love for her island home has provided her with an abundance of endless inspiration: “I attempt to capture the essence & relaxed harmonic state of ‘being’ with which our rich, tropical paradise gives to us, Mother Nature‘s gifted grace.” Using silk as her canvas, Samantha transforms her beautiful designs into luxury lifestyle pieces.

Her stunning pieces can be worn on any occasion, from gorgeous relaxed day wear to divine balmy evenings.

Samantha’s unique, mindful creations also contribute to the wellbeing of our planet. Her unique hand designed signature pieces are created from 100% silk, are soft to the skin, & kind to the earth.

They are produced in small exclusive quantities & are easily biodegradable. A small percentage of sales profits from her ‘wellness creations’ are also given to a selected animal welfare organization. Showing kindness & support towards the wellbeing of our animals & our planet.

"There is beauty and bliss in little moments.

There is hope and strength in every ray of sunshine.

There is peace and tranquility in every breeze.

Just open your heart, and look at life , with the eyes of love and gratefulness. Your perception will shift, you will awaken to a different World. And You will never, ever be the same again". ~ Kiran Shaikh

BHAKTI Samant ha Farrugia

A LIFEST YLE OF ‘BEING’

BHAKTI ‘BHAKTI’ in Sanskrit means ‘devotion’.

The journey of inspiration, contemplation & reflection in seeing the divine in every creature & within everything.

Samantha’s pieces are an expression of what she likes to call ‘a beautiful bhakti moment’ which she captured while creating her new collection, in her island paradise.

This is her journey of ‘BHAKTI’...
